Summary

After the death of her beloved mother, Martha Jefferson spent five years abroad with her father, Thomas Jefferson, on his first diplomatic mission to France. 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 doting father she idolized since childhood has begun to pull away. The home she adores depends on slavery, a practice Martha abhors. Martha yearns to find her way back to the gentle beauty and quiet happiness of the world she once knew
