Tells the story of Thomas Jefferson' life from the viewpoint of his daughter, Patsy. Tells the domestic, human, private life of this great man in American history. Enjoying it very much so far. Begins with the end of the American Revolution, and continues with his appointment in Paris. (as far as I've gotten)
