Her mother is a senator who frequently appears on CNN as a powerful Black voice fighting for legislative social change within the Black community. Her father a professor of African American history is a walking encyclopedia spouting off random dates and events.

Ruth on the other hand would rather sit quietly reading or writing in her journal. When her family is rocked by tragedy Ruth stops writing. As life goes on Ruth's mother is presented with a political opportunity she can t refuse. Just as Senator Fitz is more absent Ruth begins receiving parchment letters with a seal reading WE ARE THE Scribes sent by Harriet Jacobs the author of the autobiography and 1861 American classic Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.
