About this title: Harriet Hemings is the illegitimate daughter of Thomas Jefferson in this historical novel from prize-winning Chase-Ribaud. The product of a life-long love affair between the President and Sally Hemings, the quadroon slave he met in Paris, Harriet remains a secret, one of four children with whom he wants nothing to do. Not only does he rebuff her as his daughter, he refuses to free her from slavery. Able to "pass" because of her milky white skin, and red hair, Harriet heads to Philadelphia to enter into a new society, and leaves behind the only family she has ever known.
