Annette Gordon-Reed's The Hemingses of Monticello

Hi every one;
I heard of this book which relates well to the Feb 13th debate (Thomas Jefferson on trial.) It discusses Jefferson's relations with Hemings. Hear is the link for the book review if any one is interested, I thought it looked pretty cool! http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/05/books/review/Foner-t.html?pagewanted=1
