Description

When the world collapses, survival becomes a matter of refuge. In Jocelyn Nicole Johnson's gripping novel, a group of families and strangers flee for their lives to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's historic plantation home in Charlottesville. As they take shelter from violent white supremacists, they must confront the darkness beneath their feet. Over nineteen heart-stopping days, Da'Naisha Love - a young Black descendant of Jefferson and Sally Hemings - leads her group in a desperate bid for survival. But as the terror draws closer, they are forced to make impossible choices about what is worth fighting for. Johnson's electrifying portrayal of one family's struggle to protect their home and their lives will leave you breathless. This powerful novel is an unforgettable exploration of resistance, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of community.
