"Jefferson's Sons" by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley tells the story of the lives of the enslaved children of Thomas Jefferson through the eyes of his son, Madison. Set in Monticello in the late 18th century, the novel explores themes of race, identity, and freedom. Madison and his brother, Eston, grapple with the realities of their lineage as the children of one of America's Founding Fathers while facing the harsh truths of slavery. Despite their familial connection to Jefferson, they seek to carve out their own identities and futures in a world that defines them by their status as enslaved individuals.
