Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

What we saw in those moments riveted us, and then it set us free.

In a time of rolling blackouts and terrible storms battering America, the neighbourhood of First Street, Charlottesville, is attacked by violent white supremacists.

Families, friends and strangers flee for their lives in an abandoned bus, taking refuge in Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's historic plantation home in the hills above town.

Over 19 heart-stopping days the group find ways to care for and sustain one another as the world burns beneath them.

Told by Da'Naisha Love, a young Black descendant of Jefferson and Sally Hemings, My Monticello is a searing indictment of racism past and present and a powerful vision of resistance, hope and love.
