Jefferson's Sons: A Founding Father’s Secret Children Review: book Jefferson's Sons - This book is historical fiction written by a woman who did extensive research of Thomas Jefferson and Monticello. The book is also written for the younger reader...which I am not but often read a book prior to giving as gift to my grandchildren. I adore this book as seen by the slaves of Monticello... who have the father of our Constitution as Master. There is much debate whether Sally Hemmings's children are father by Thomas Jefferson...Sally as a young slave girl who goes to Paris as maid to his daughter and becomes his mistress even after returning to Virginia. What if...yes, what if it is true and we only knew the story in her slave quarters with her children growing into adulthood. A fascinating read as Kimberly Brubaker Bradley weaves a wonderous story of Sally's and Mr. Jefferson's seven children...some of the children are not allowed to serve in the 'big house' when visitors are around because they look so much like their father, some have the musical talents of the father and some early on understand slavery and cannot understand how they are slaves of Mr. Jefferson who was president and claims to believe 'all men are created equal......'. I think a must read for any history student and a read that needs to happen in the teen years or earlier for both sides of the slavery issue. A most thought provoking book for any age. Jefferson's Sons Review: Intriguing and Engaging Novel for Adults and Tweens/Teens - I am a 40 year old professional who has a difficult time finding books that hold my attention. I figure that my time is valuable and in order to devote the necessary effort and hours into reading any book, it must be engaging and educational. I also have a 12 year old homeschooled daughter and I prefer to preview her reading material, especially when dealing with certain topics. I found this book astounding and tore through it in just a few days. The author has a terrific way with words and I love reading her historical pieces that are told through the eyes of an innocent child. I feel like I learned more about what slavery actually is and what it meant to the people involved. Kimberly Brubaker Bradley delicately handles the issue of the "relations" between Sally Hemmings and Thomas Jefferson in a way that gets the point across but would not raise questions from younger children who have not yet received education on the reproductive process. I can't wait for my daughter to read this, so we can discuss it together. 🙂 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #495,755 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #57 in Children's Colonial American Historical Fiction #144 in Children's 1800s American Historical Fiction #593 in Children's Black & African American Story Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (569) | | Dimensions | 5.13 x 1 x 7.75 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 0142421847 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0142421840 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 400 pages | | Publication date | January 10, 2013 | | Publisher | Puffin Books | | Reading age | 9 - 12 years, from customers | ## Images ![Jefferson's Sons: A Founding Father’s Secret Children - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lHKOLOzmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ book Jefferson's Sons *by C***S on August 4, 2012* This book is historical fiction written by a woman who did extensive research of Thomas Jefferson and Monticello.

An historical accounting of President Jefferson's secret black family told from the point of view of his black children. Although it is historical fiction, it is extremely accurate and very thoroughly researched. Much of the story is based on the letters and journals written by Jefferson's plantation overseer and by the second of his three black sons. Kimberly Brubaker Bradley does not romanticize the relationship. The reader experiences the cruelty of Jefferson towards his black children - never acknowledging his black children living on his estate, the emotional pain his black children suffered watching Jefferson's white children and grandchildren growing up with every advantage while his black children worked in his home as servants, the fear they lived with daily of what will become of them when Jefferson dies. The hypocrisy of Jefferson's political views vs. his personal lifestyle is not lost on Jefferson's black family. The children sometimes hate their father, sometimes feel sorry for him, sometimes try to love him from afar, but mostly, are ambivalent. They know he did great things for the country, but they don't understand why he is considered a great man, especially when his black family is the worst kept secret in the country. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/15223777-jeffersons-sons-a-founding-father-s-secret-children](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/15223777-jeffersons-sons-a-founding-father-s-secret-children) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
