    About this ebook

    THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

    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.

      This book did not disappoint. The story is told well, in an interesting way that had me wanting to turn the page. I especially enjoyed getting a ringside seat, so to speak, to the beginnings of our country. I learned much that I didn't know about that period of our history. I did get a little confused at all the Randolphs in the book, but a few quick internet searches helped me out there. To remain true to the characters, there was no other way to write about the various Randolph kin. As any good historical novel will do, it led me to doing more research. I especially enjoyed finding paintings of the people involved in the story and taking a virtual tour of Monticello. This is a book that will stay on my shelf to be read again.

      This engaging account of the life of Martha Patsy Jefferson - Thomas Jefferson's daughter - drew me into the world of her family's life and the early history of the United States. Patsy - as she is known to her family - spends her life devoted to her father. But while he has much affection for his family, his remarkable intellect and leadership skills mean that he is called upon to be a "public servant" again and again. Still, Patsy is often the only one privy to his private moments - moments when grief over the death of his wife almost kills him and moments when he expresses displeasure at how those close to him behave. Over the course of the years Patsy matures and becomes a sought after beauty in Paris - and comes into conflict with her father as to who she should marry. Later her choice settled and and her future course set, she still has much to do with managing her father's household and affairs, and in trying to minimize the effects of poor decisions by relatives and close friends which threaten to drag them down into scandal, poverty or despair. And during it all she is constantly aware of the presence of Sally Hemings - the slave who she has long known is also her half sister. I was enthralled by some of the historical details about the family - some of which were quite shocking. Still in places it was a bit too detailed and I wanted to rush through to a more interesting part. However I would definitely recommend it for anyone who enjoys learning about history as they read a well researched fictionalized account of historical figures.

      Politics haven't changed a bit. If you think they're bad now, read this book. Fake news isn't a new thing, Partisan politics so violent it almost prevented Jefferson from attending his good friend George Washington's funeral; Muslims entertained at the white house to negotiate peace with Barbary pirates, so much history here to soak up in its 600+ pages. But at heart the story of a daughter from childhood to old age, and despite her strength and smarts, diplomacy, and courage, she was still ruled and dictated to by men and a declaration of Independence cowritten by her own beloved father that did not apply to her, nor blacks, nor indians. A compelling and inspiring novel.
    • 4/5
      This book was really well done. I cared about Patsy from the very beginning, so even though I didn't agree with all her decisions, I deeply felt her highs and lows.The other characters were well written too. In lesser hands, Tom Randolph could have turned into a caricature of evil, but here he was fleshed out and made far more complicated.It did annoy me, though, that near the end of the book Martha (Patsy) complained that none of the slaves were brave enough to confront Bankhead. This struck me as an unfair and ungrateful statement, especially given Burwell's (one of the slaves) willingness to protect her from Bankhead at an earlier point in the novel.Overall I found this book engrossing, I appreciated the authors' notes at the end, and I look forward to their next book.

      Quite an imaginative, engaging version of a very eventful and consequential life. Touches of history and truth filled in with potent emotion and appropriate details - the very reasons for which I am drawn to historical fiction.

    • 5/5
      Americas First Daughter is by far one of the best historical fiction books I have ever read. This well researched novel brings to light not only the Presidency of Thomas Jefferson but the life his daughter led before during and after his presidency. While it is almost 600 pages, every page was jammed with essential information and facts that brought to life this awesome family. For historical fiction fans and even those that aren't this is one not to be missed. I was sorry when I read the last page. I could have gone on forever.
    • 5/5
      This was the first book I have read about Patsy Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson's oldest daughter. The book takes you from when she was a young child to her later years as a mother and grandmother. It was a fascinating story and it introduced a lot of the men and women we have read about in history. Patsy's relationship with her father played a large role in his political career as she had to take the place of her mother who had died following childbirth. She never really had the chance to live her own life or follow her own dreams because she always put her father's needs and the needs of the country first. This is a captivating story, well told and very memorable.

      I received America's First Daughter from Library Thing's Early Reviewers in return for an honest review. I enjoy historical fiction and learning about other times and places. I do not enjoy dry facts and dates which is why I did not enjoy history class in high school. Too bad we couldn't learn history through books like this. Stephanie and Laura did a wonderful job using excerpts from letters by Thomas Jefferson as a timeline for the story of his life described through his daughter Patsy's eyes. This story is as much about Mr. Jefferson as it is Patsy. The places where Patsy lived and everything she witnessed in her life made for a fascinating read. I was never board and appreciated the different views presented by different characters about various subjects important at the time. The liberty the authors take with some of the facts are not at all distracting and since you know this is a novel you expect some of the stories to be embellished. I appreciated the author's note in the back explaining where they took liberty to change some of the facts to make a more enjoyable read. What a perfect time, during our pre-election circus to be reading this account of the early years of America as a nation. Some things never change. For all those people who like to romanticize the founding fathers and like to believe these were better times morally and a more honest time, well I suggest you give this gem a read as well as other honest accounts of that time in our history.If history is your thing I think you will really enjoy America's First Daughter.
    • 5/5
      This lengthy book is worth the time spent reading it. Based upon Thomas Jefferson's correspondence with family and friends, this historical novel tells the story of the Jefferson family through the eyes of his oldest daughter, Martha "Patsy" Jefferson Randolph. When Patsy's mother is dying, 10-year-old Patsy promises her that she will care for her father, and her father promises to never remarry. Patsy takes on the role she promised her dying mother, even to the point of giving up the man she loves to marry another. All through her life, she protects her family's secrets and reputation without regard to her own happiness. While raising 11 children, she must also make decisions between love, duty, and respect.This book does not gloss over Jefferson's flaws as Patsy tries to preserve his reputation in the new county. His choices and decisions are often hard on his family, which takes second place to his devotion to his country.This is a vivid account of a turbulent time in U.S. history as lived by some very real and flawed human beings. Tragedy brings out the best and the worst in a revered by troubled family.

      I received this book as an early review copy from LibraryThing. Nonetheless, it is a book that I might well have picked up on my own to read having visited Monticello a couple of times and liking historical novels. This one did not disappoint, and it gave me a new perspective on the Jefferson family. I went into it knowing next to nothing about Martha (Patsy) Jefferson Randolph. Although a certain amount of the book is by necessity conjecture, the author presented all of it very well and kept this reader's interest throughout. I found it enlightening to learn how hard the "head of the household" had to work in those days even if her house was a plantation home with slaves. During the times when Patsy lived away from home and had no domestic help, it was constant work. And she also bore eleven children as well as raising some grandchildren. She and her father were basically inseparable, and neither coped well without the other. Jefferson's financial woes and the end of Monticello are nicely dealt with in the book. All in all, an enlightening read on a fascinating subject.

      I'll be honest, I'm a sucker for historical fiction, especially if it's based on real people, and this novel about Martha "Patsy" Jefferson was set during one of my favorite time periods - the American Revolutionary War Era. I was very much looking forward to reading this. But, it started slow for me. I actually got about 45 pages in, and set it aside to read a couple library books. It didn't immediately grab my attention, and I wasn't really looking forward to picking it up again. But once I got about 75 pages in, it took off, and I was hooked. This book was SO GOOD! This novel covers nearly the entirety of Patsy's life, from her early girlhood in Virginia and Boston, to her years in Paris with her father, where she was educated at a convent school, and the rest of her life as a wife and mother in Virginia. I found myself longing along with Patsy to be with her first love. I hurt with Patsy when misfortune befell her family. I was angry with Patsy when she was mistreated by her husband.I was totally and completely invested in this novel, and found myself reading it every chance I got. It was extremely well-researched and written. If you are a fan of historical fiction, you MUST read this book. Highly recommended!

      Thomas Jefferson's daughter.Stephanie Dray writes Historical fiction, most recently with Laura Kamoie, but she's also well known as an Historical romance author under the name of Stephanie Draven. Just to confuse matters even more, Laura Kamoie also has an alias as a Romance author, as Laura Kaye. So it's little wonder that this Historical Fiction novel does have a somewhat romantic feel to it. Where it differs considerably is in its length - while both authors write fairly short romance books, America's First Daughter took me by surprise at 580/624 pages (depending on the source). My Kindle percentage seemed to be rising painfully slowly and our book group unanimously decided to delay the discussion for a week.Stephanie and Laura between them had 17,000 letters written to and from Thomas Jefferson, on which to base their novel, no wonder it took five years to write.Jefferson lived a double life, advocating freedom for all, while running a farm worked by slaves. He argued that it would be impossible to maintain the farm without slave workers. Meanwhile, on her deathbed, he promised to love none other than his beloved wife, yet formed a life-long liaison with a slave girl in his employ, fathering several children through her.This book is written from the point of view of his daughter, Martha, known as Patsy. She relinquished many of her personal freedoms in order to stay at her father's side; travelling to Paris with him at a young age and later playing the role of first woman in Washington. She then married Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr. and bore twelve children.Having spent such a long time on this book I was disappointed in the discussion questions provided by the publisher; they tended to run along a similar theme and were somewhat uninspiring. I had to resort to the passages that I had highlighted while reading to keep the discussion motivated.Although the book was quite hard going, I learned a lot from it and don't regret the time spent.

      America's First Daughter by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie is a novel based on the life of Martha Jefferson Randolph, Thomas Jefferson's eldest daughter. When Thomas Jefferson's wife lay on her deathbed in September, 1782 she plead with her young daughter Patsy to "take care" of her father. From then until Jefferson's death in 1826 Patsy was his companion, confidant, helpmate and defender. One of Patsy's first responsibilities was to accompany her father when he became the American minister to France. The authors think that there, at the age of fifteen, she learned of her father's liaison with Sally Hemmings, a slave girl Patsy's age. After returning to America she became the young mistress of Monticello and later the mistress of the White House. She married the man her father chose, and birthed eleven children. Through a tumultuous life Patsy managed family scandal, personal tragedy and financial ruin, continuing to protect her father even after his death in 1826.
    • 5/5
      Wow. How fun to read, but long. It read like a behind-the-scenes peek at the real family of Thomas Jefferson. Definitely a fictionalized account of the family, and one that the authors admit to, yet one that took advantage of many modern sources. As with any biography, the authors made choices, which they also took pains to explain.
    • 5/5
      Very good read and pretty close to fact, as much as could be. I have been to Monticello so it was very interesting to me.
    • 4/5
      My position on Jefferson has "evolved" over the years from one of total adoration of the mythic founder and writer of the Declaration of Independence, to profound disappointment as the evidence for his relationship with Sally Hemmings came to light (not based on the interracial aspect but the abusive master/slave relationship), to one of appreciation of a complicated flawed man who served his country well but failed in his personal life to live up to his own ideals. This book falls squarely in the last category. Although telling the story from Martha "Patsy" Jefferson's point of view, at its core, this novel is an examination of the man and his times. Thoroughly researched and richly detailed, Dray and Komoie bring a precarious time in our country's history to life. It's clear that Martha Jefferson profoundly affected her father's life, served her country as "First Daughter," and protected Jefferson in death, carefully editing his papers and letters to build the myth we are most familiar with. Jefferson's lifelong affair with Sally Hemmings (half-sister to his dead wife) is handled with delicacy and is thoroughly rooted in the mores of the "Virginia Planter" society. I most appreciated the detailed and proscribed world of women--both free and slave. Martha Jefferson is subject to her father's wishes for marriage and her husband's management of their lives and livelihood. Constantly pregnant, she makes decisions and finds agency within a narrow range of action. Like nearly all women of her time, she can't live according to her own wishes until both her father and husband are dead. But Martha's decisions and actions are rooted in love for both her father and husband. She doesn't question her (or other women's) lot in life. She accepts her role, makes the most of it, and battles life's vagaries with intelligence, grit, and compassion. This is a complicated story told well. Highly recommended.Note: I received a copy from the publisher through an Early Reader program. That did not affect my review.
    • 4/5
      Prior to this novel, I had only the roughest idea of Thomas Jefferson's eldest daughter and her life, and this book served as a good introduction to Patsy Jefferson Randolph's turbulent life. I really enjoyed the telling of her early years, but after her marriage, I found myself liking Patsy less and wishing she had made very different choices for herself and her family - primarily, not to devote herself to her legendary father quite so much. Nevertheless, this book is a wonderful combination of good writing and interesting history - one that makes me want to learn more about so many of the characters.
    • 4/5
      This book was very interesting. I liked how the author made Thomas Jefferson and his daughter both human. I guess politicians are the same throughout the ages. Patsy Jefferson was quite a smart woman and that would have been a very hard thing to be during this century. I enjoyed this story.
    • 4/5
      As Thomas Jefferson's oldest daughter, Patsy Jefferson grows up in awe of her father and his political strides. Patsy follows him to Paris where Thomas Jefferson becomes the American Minister to France. In Paris, Patsy not only goes to Court and receives a worldly education, but gets to see the effects of politics in action and form her own opinions on slavery. She also becomes her father's protector and companion. As Patsy ages, she becomes her own woman, marries and makes her own choices as her father blazes an illustrious political career. When he passes, Patsy must choose how he will be remembered.Using Thomas Jefferson's letters, the authors have created and engaging and very accurate portrayal of Thomas and Patsy Jefferson. I love learning about history through a woman's eyes, and Patsy's character does wonders for learning more about Patsy herself, Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemmings and even Abigail Adams. I was very intrigued about Thomas Jefferson's views of his own slaves, his relationship with Sally Hemmings and his relationship with his children. Patsy herself is a tremendous character which I loved to see grow, develop her own opinions and eventually fulfill the obligations as First Lady to her father. This is a longer book at almost 600 pages, so it is quite an epic read, but well worth it for any historical fiction lover.This book was received for free in return for an honest review.

    • 3/5
      Once again I find myself adrift in a sea of reviewers who think a book is the best ever...I could have squeezed out another star for it if Patsy had just been portrayed as a more likable person. The book's preface where she embarks on editing her father's life by burning correspondence and documents that she would not want to be publicly viewed because they conflicted with the image that she wanted to live on through posterity turned me off entirely. I think it is fair to say it set up a bias for me in terms of how I viewed her throughout the book. Aside from that, the story was engaging enough.
