America’s First Daughter, by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie. "Excellent! It’s historical fiction, written from the POV of Thomas Jefferson’s daughter, Martha 'Patsy' Jefferson Randall. It begins with the family’s flight from the British after Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence and ends a few years after his death, when Patsy assumed the duties of first lady to bachelor Andrew Jackson. Filled with family drama, politics (of both the American and French Revolutions), romance and LOTS of kids (scary to think of life before birth control!), it also provides wonderful insight into Jefferson, the man, champion for liberty and the slaveholder. (Sally Hemmings is featured throughout the book, although the authors acknowledge literary license was employed to link together well-hidden facts.) Both fascinating and charming – I highly recommend!"
