Title: Sally Hemings
Product review: Although this book was written before much of the DNA evidence and additional data became available, it was so delightfully readable, it stirred me to delve deeper. I actually read the entire book aloud to my hubby (something we have been doing for 50 years), and he kept grabbing other Jefferson books he had already read to add the newer information. I had been hesitant to get into the depth of Jeffersonian issues, but "Sally Hemings" got me hooked. Loved having Sally as the first person in much of the book. Her view of the issues was a delightfully refreshing approach. I have read a lot about abolition issues, and have mixed race couples in my family, so this was a wonderful addition to my knowledge of some issues. Thanks for rediscovering this one! Now seeking "Clotel - the President's Daughter".
