The book delves into the system of slavery, and how Linda( protagonist and a pseudonym for Harriet) had to endure hardships and obstacles to be united with her family amidst her fight for personal freedom and family life.
Mrs. Hobbs is the cousin of Mr. Sands, the father of Linda's children. In chapter XXVII, Mrs. Hobb's letter to Linda's grandmother revealed that Linda's daughter Ellen was <em>"given"</em> to her, to be <em>"[her] little waiting maid"</em>. She went on further to state the condition of Ellen's 'presence' in the Hobbs' house, revealing:<em> "I shall send her to school, and I hope someday she will write to you herself."</em>
