Hannah and Charlotte of Tennessee (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977258144)

Remember recently discovered sagas of American Presidents who just couldn't keep their manhood in their pants? In the antebellum south, Thomas Jefferson and some say George Washington lusted after their slave concubines. Out of their dust emerges another President whose interest in mulatto women binds a beautiful young slave girl to his beloved wife in a shocking and startling erotic tryst. Charlotte longs to publicly call 'papa' the man who is approachable only in private. He dies and leaves her a target of slavery. She dodges imminent harm by running hours before she is to be sold. She zigzags through Montana and Canadian wilderness living among the Indians. Defiant she returns to a lost hostile place and barely escapes with only the clothes on her back. Inheriting her father's vengeance she gets lost in a roller-coaster of hatred for whites such as he held for the British. Adding to some regurgitated recordings of his life the book unravels never revealed sexual involvment with mullato women. Hannah, his trusted housekeeper lives with him from childhood to womanhood. This story is based on Charlotte's need to reveal her factual bloodline. No reason stands to disbelieve these accounts written before but never published. The reader must decide what truths to take away from this tale and what suppositions to leave within it.
