Bio
Esther Franklin’s award-winning book, The Others at Monticello, tells of the forgotten “others.” Members of Sally Heming’s family, Thomas Jefferson’s slaves, come alive in this historical novel which contains carefully researched details about the Sage’s books and beginnings of Library of Congress. It honors the “others” neglected by history and raises relevant questions for individuals of mixed heritage today.
