"I loved it.The greatest compliment I can pay this novel is to say I was furious when it ended. I wanted much, much more of Martha, I was so beguiled by her. I have no doubt at all this novel will be an enormous success - after all, how rare it is to find a novel so quiet and yet startling, so dignified and yet passionate, so sincere and so seductive." - Margaret Forster, author of Lady's Maid. "Roberta Grimes is a highly intelligent and richly gifted writer. Those with a curiosity about the American past will read My Thomas with delight and urge it upon their friends." - Alf J. Mapp, Jr., author of Thomas Jefferson: Passionate Pilgrim. "Roberta Grimes has created a fine work of American literature and I admire her for having the courage to tell it the way she wanted to tell it.I admire the craft she has displayed, the sensitivity, the faithfulness, the honesty, and the implacable nature of her vision and her skill." - Ralph Wiley, author. "This greatest of American love stories moves across a rich tapestry of history as the Thirteen Colonies forge the Declaration of Independence and fight the Revolutionary War. Thomas Jefferson wrote that all men are equal and all have a right to liberty, yet he kept in bondage numerous slaves, including his own wife's half brothers and half sisters. He was an aristocrat who early in his life came to champion the cause of the common man; he never much cared for public service, but he gave to it more than half his life. There were so many contradictions in Jefferson's life that even his friends claimed not to know him. Perhaps only one person knew him well. Now, after years of careful research, Roberta Grimes re-creates Martha Jefferson's journal to reveal our third President as we have never seen him before, though the eyes of the woman who loved him best. When Martha Wayles Skelton meets Thomas Jefferson, he is a rising lawyer and legislator and she is a twenty-two-year-old widow who is determined not to marry again. She is beautiful, educated, and playful - with a mind and a spirit to match his own - and she becomes the one great love of his life, his confidante and his closest friend. They are married in 1772 as the pulse of rebellion begins to quicken, and for ten years as the revolution rages they struggle together to build Monticello and to raise their family. Thomas resigns from politics in 1781, believing he has done his share; but when Martha dies the following year, he returns to public service in misery. Forty years later, he still sadly calls her "the cherished companion of my life." In resurrecting Martha Jefferson's life and setting it in its proper historical context, Grimes has painted a wonderfully realistic portrait of colonial America that includes a very revealing look at the relationships between the races and the sexes. My Thomas is a first-rate biographical novel. Through it, readers will come to know intimately our most compelling American hero." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Presented here from author Nicholas Von Hoffman is the notorious life and times of Roy Cohn - lawyer, fixer, destroyer, good guy? No one so famous or controversial led so many veiled lives. Cohn was born in The Bronx and educated at Columbia. He was an American lawyer and prosecutor who rose to prominence as Senator Joe McCarthy's chief counsel during the ArmyMcCarthy hearings. He assisted the investigations of suspected communists and became prominent as a DOJ prosecutor at the espionage trial of the Rosenbergs which led to their execution in 1953. Cohn's received additional public notoriety as Joe McCarthy's special assistant for the House Un-American Activities Committee or HUAC. Cohn's reputation was hit following McCarthy's fall from grace. Following this counsel to Sen. McCarthy, Cohn became a prominent political player. Cohn had a three decade long career as an NYC attorney. He represented Donald Trump from 1973-1985. Other clients included Aristotle Onassis, shipping magnate who married the widowed Jacqueline Kennedy; Yankees owner George Steinbrenner; mafia figures such as Tony Salerno, Carmine Galante, John Gotti and Mario Gigante; and, Studio 54 owners Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager. Nicholas Von Hoffman presents a comprehensive portrait of Roy Cohn, his ideological passions, personal life, and patterns of power and influence. He was a friend to J. Edgar Hoover, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump; but, was a relentless scourge to leftists, while being an NYC Democrat. Von Hoffman's biography is a rich account based upon extensive testimony from his family, colleagues, friends, and foes. He was an operator and preferred manipulating connections with the powerful for his motives. A fascinating story of a figure who was both brilliant and outrageous.
