The story is written in third person from limited perspectives that vary, specifically depending on the time frame. The earlier story line focuses on Josephine Bell, a slave girl who lives in the mid-1800s in Virginia. In that story line, the reader sees everything from Josephine's perspective. The storyline that is set in modern times is presented from the perspective of Lina Sparrow, a young attorney doing research for a class action law suit. The changing perspectives are necessary for the reader to follow the story because of the years' difference in the settings.
