{"product_id":"9781556529450","title":"Sally Hemings: A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the greatest love stories in American history is also one of the most controversial. Thomas Jefferson had a mistress for 38 years whom he loved and lived with until he died—the beautiful and elusive Sally Hemings. But it was not simply that Jefferson had a mistress that provoked such a scandal in both his time and ours. It was that Sally Hemings was a quadroon slave and that Jefferson fathered a slave family whose descendants are alive today. In this moving novel, originally published in 1979 and having sold over two million copies worldwide, Barbara Chase-Riboud re-creates one of America’s most powerful love stories, based on the documents and evidence of the day, and gives us a poignant, tragic, and unforgettable meditation on the history of race and sex in America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chicago Review Press, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062174597360,"sku":"9781556529450","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781556529450_p0.jpg?v=1763756755","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781556529450","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
