Now, at seventeen, Jefferson's bright, handsome eldest daughter is returning to the lush hills of the family's beloved Virginia plantation, Monticello. While the large, beautiful estate is the same as she remembers, Martha has changed. The young girl that sailed to Europe is now a woman with a heart made heavy by a first love gone wrong. The world around her has also become far more complicated than it once seemed. The doting father she idolized since childhood has begun to pull away. Moving back into political life, he has become distracted by the tumultuous fight for power and troubling new attachments. The home she adores depends on slavery, a practice Martha abhors. But Monticello is burdened by debt, and it cannot survive without the labor of her family's slaves. The exotic distant cousin she is drawn to has a taste for dangerous passions, dark desires that will eventually compromise her own. As her life becomes constrained by the demands of marriage, motherhood, politics, scandal, and her family's increasing impoverishment, Martha yearns to find her way back to the gentle beauty and quiet happiness of the world she once knew at the top of her father's âlittle mountain.â"--Amazon. 600 10 $a Randolph, Martha Jefferson, $d 1772-1836 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Jefferson, Thomas, $d 1743-1826 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and daughters $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Virginia $x History $y 1775-1865 $v Fiction. 941 $a 13 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204084059.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110065956.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720045110.0 952 $l NKPD993 $d 20180718042044.0 952 $l DJPD353 $d 20180717023307.0 952 $l NJPD993 $d 20180714052738.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20171215012633.0 952 $l SDPB094 $d 20171104105830.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418121117.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20170404013740.0 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20161229010332.0 952 $l FBPC124 $d 20161108051443.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160923010811.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=28AB29DC815311E6B848AE91DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
