The Hemingses of Monticello
In this, her second deeply moving and brilliantly researched work on the story of Thomas Jefferson and the slaves that he sometimes called his 'family', the author gives us one of the most poignant and comprehensive accounts of a slave family ever written. The narrative unearths startling new information about the complex relationship between the nation's third president and Sarah (Sally) Hemmings who bore seven children by Jefferson over the course of their thirty-eight-year liaison. Richly rewarding reading indeed.
