When George Washington was elected president, he reluctantly left behind his beloved Mount Vernon to serve in Philadelphia, the temporary seat of the nation's capital. In setting up his household, he took Tobias Lear, his celebrated secretary, and eight slaves, including Ona Judge, about which little has been written. As he grew accustomed to Northern ways, there was one change he couldn't get his arms around: Pennsylvania law required enslaved people be set free after six months of residency in the state. Washington decided to circumvent the law.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was spellbound learning about this story and the lives of enslaved people on the Mt. Vernon Plantation. I cried about their living conditions and their lack of choice regarding their lives. I was shocked to learn about George Washington's financial situation and that enslaved people at the plantation were valued for the amount of money they would bring on the auction block.
I was also stunned at Martha Curtis Washington's die-hard support for the institution of slavery. Her comfort as well as the comfort of her family were foremost in her mind. Her attitude was that the enslaved people at Mt. Vernon were there to respond to the needs and wants of the owner's family.
