Thomas Jefferson-From
Boy to Man is a biographical and autobiographical account of Jefferson's first
31 years of life (1743-1774), an era of his life that was virtually "in

"fly-on-the-wall" perspective of his childhood, friends, boarding
school days, college and law years, romance, fire, earthquakes, flood, deaths

many rare, to enhance the readers imagination. It ends as Jefferson is retiring
from his Charlottesville law practice to get more involved in politics with the
Second Continental Congress, just two years prior to his drafting of the
Declaration of Independence.

Drú has a record to defend—but even she can’t predict what will happen when Uncle Hunter’s trigger-happy nemesis Rich McCarthy and his sons try to crash the party before its even started. It’s a race against the clock to make sure Uncle Hunter’s big night goes off without a hitch…Old skeletons are dragged out of the clo
