The novel is set in Mars Bluff, South Carolina 1865, during the Reconstruction era, immediately after the end of the American Civil War. 12-year-old Patsy is a now-former slave living on the Davis plantation, who records the changes she is experiencing in a diary, given to her by Annie and Charles, her former enslaver's niece and nephew.
Patsey is believed to have been born around 1817. In 1830, when she was 13, she was sold to Edwin Epps in Louisiana.

When drunk, he would lash out at enslaved people with a whip, enjoying the sound of their screams. [2]
