Thomas Jefferson dreams of Sally Hemings : a novel
Stephen O'Connor (Author)
A historical tale inspired by the decades-long relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings details their first encounters in late-eighteenth-century Paris and the inconsistent values that shaped their affair. Jefferson is both the visionary Founding Father and an egotistical bigot; Hemings struggles to make a radical assertion of her freedom, while fearing her rage may destroy her life
