Told in three separate stories in a non linear fashion, this story takes place during the American Revolution when the US was trying to break away from the British and the British were trying to keep their hold. I don't read many books set in the time period, so my first reaction was absolutely positive to read a book outside of my normal historical timeline.

Interesting and different - the way the three parts were set up. They were told out of order and I am not sure that I liked it. I loved each part of this family's story and seeing the similarities between the daughter (Tab)'s life and her mother's life was very interesting. Although a few years apart, life hadn't changed and women died in child birth and the relationships with slaves hadn't changed and I loved seeing the lack of change in time.
