Review
From the beginning of this novel, I was enraptured. There is nothing more I appreciate than a well-researched, knowledgeable author. In this case, I was lucky enough to get two! I love historical fiction, and have actually been suffering a bit of a downward slump in my reading. This book drew me out! Patsy is a likable character, yet still flawed. Dray and Kamoie show how a young girl learned and blossomed into a young woman, all in the shadow of her famous father. I loved the letters preceding each chapter, giving small snippets of Patsy and Jefferson. Any history lover will fully appreciate this beautiful novel, and I eagerly await the authors’ next collaboration (please let there be one!).

About AMERICA’S FIRST DAUGHTER:
In a compelling, richly researched novel that draws from thousands of letters and original sources, bestselling authors Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie tell the fascinating, untold story of Thomas Jefferson’s eldest daughter, Martha “Patsy” Jefferson Randolph—a woman who kept the secrets of our most enigmatic founding father and shaped an American legacy.
From her earliest days, Patsy Jefferson knows that though her father loves his family dearly, his devotion to his country runs deeper still. As Thomas Jefferson’s oldest daughter, she becomes his helpmate, protector, and constant companion in the wake of her mother’s death, traveling with him when he becomes American minister to France.
It is in Paris, at the glittering court and among the first tumultuous days of revolution, that fifteen-year-old Patsy learns about her father’s troubling liaison with Sally Hemings, a slave girl her own age. Meanwhile, Patsy has fallen in love—with her father’s protégé William Short, a staunch abolitionist and ambitious diplomat. Torn between love, principles, and the bonds of family, Patsy questions whether she can choose a life as William’s wife and still be a devoted daughter.
Her choice will follow her in the years to come, to Virginia farmland, Monticello, and even the White House. And as scandal, tragedy, and poverty threaten her family, Patsy must decide how much she will sacrifice to protect her father’s reputation, in the process defining not just his political legacy, but that of the nation he founded.
