The setting in the book Nineteen Minutes is in a town in North Carolina, called Sterling. Sterling has a college in the town, Sterling College. The time period of the book is in 2007. The author tells you the time period, because the first chapter in the book is the day of the school shooting. Which happens to be March 6, 2007. The socioeconomic of this book, I think would be in the middle class. The Cormier's are not the wealthiest people in the world, but Alex makes a living for them. The others in the book would probably fit into the middle class also. This book does not really focus on the wealth of the characters in it.

I wonder if there is a significance to the year 2007. It could just be when the author wrote the book, but a lot of times authors try to set the novel at a time that could be present whenever it is being read.
