Who is Carrie?

Carrie has been a kitchen slave in Sam Fraunces's  tavern in New York City for as long as she can  remember. But after she narrowly escapes a  kidnapper, Carrie becomes more curious about her mysterious  past. After all, she doesn't even know her own last name. When her friend Dan Arabus comes to town, he talks about his dream of buying his mother's freedom with the Continental notes  his father left him. Deciding to help Dan discover how much the notes are worth, Carrie finds herself eavesdropping on Thomas Jefferson, Alexander  Hamilton, and President Washington himself. What's more, Carrie also stumbles upon the startling  truth about her own family.
