About this title: Rumours of Jefferson's sexual involvement with his slave Sally Hemings have circulated for two centuries. In this text, the author sets out to intensify the debate, arguing not that the events necessarily took place, but that the evidence for their taking place has been denied a fair hearing.

"Fascinating, in-depth analysis of the evidence surrounding Thomas Jefferson's relationship with Sally Hemmings. Anyone interested in american history should pick up this book."
"Written before DNA proved the Hemings-Jefferson link, this book makes a case for why most of Jefferson's biographers were wrong in not considering the possibilities. By the way, as her "new" introduction pointed out, DNA has not proven that Jefferson was the father of Heming's children, only that a Jefferson was. But..."
"An interesting look at this subject. One focus of the book was how the oral tradition of white families is usually accepted without question, while the oral tradition of black families is usually discounted without reason."
"I read this book for a class and while it was hard to read at times, I found it very informative and interesting. Gordon-Reed makes some very good points about the previous historiography done on the subject of a relationship between Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. While I enjoyed this book, I feel that Gordon-Reed was repetitive at times and could have been more concise. All in all, it was an enjoyable book."
