Read The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family for Free Online

“cover” we’ve known from the beginning of our lives. As life has it, I have now become part of the “cover” of others. I thank with all my being the people to whom this book is dedicated: my husband, Robert; my daughter, Susan; and my son, Gordon. They endured my absences, mental and physical, as I once again gave myself over to total obsession. What they have taught me about the meaning of family is the foundation for this work.
