ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
The House Girl by Tara Conklin tells the story of Lina, a modern-day lawyer, who uncovers the story of Josephine, an enslaved artist from the 1800s. Lina's journey to find a lead plaintiff for a reparations case takes her down a path of historical discovery and self-reflection. The narrative follows Lina as she researches Josephine's life, and how the two stories become intertwined with the search for Lina's mother. The novel explores themes of historical injustice, the search for identity, and the power of art and storytelling, as well as family and legacy.
