The Hemingses of Monticello
By Annette Gordon-Reed
Winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize.
This epic work tells the story of the Hemingses, whose close blood ties to our third president had been systematically expunged from American history until very recently. Now, historian and legal scholar Annette Gordon-Reed traces the Hemings family from its origins in Virginia in the 1700s to the family's dispersal after Jefferson's death in 1826.
Roxanne's pick on the December 16, 2008 Faith Middleton NPR Radio Show.

Wandering Souls: Journeys With the Dead and the Living in Viet Nam
By Wayne Karlin
Our Shelf Talker
A Vietnam vet had trouble getting back into society after the war but has worked through all that with a tremendous amount of effort. Many years later he accompanies another vet back to Viet Nam to help him find the family of the soldier he killed. This other vet had gone through the pockets of the Vietnamese soldier (as they were ordered to do) and he found a journal indicating that he was medic for the vietnamese. The palpable quality of the writing personalized the death for the American soldier and it never left his mind that he wanted to find the family. What happens when he does find the family is remarkable. They are able to forgive him because the story of the death of their family member is returned to them and they could now have his funeral. This is an extremely moving story.- Faith from the Faith Middleton Show

Zeitoun
By Dave Eggers
Our Shelf Talker
This book is about a family who has lived in New Orleans for thirty years.They are of Islamic origins. The father is a painter. When Hurricane Katrina struck, the wife and kids left but the father stayed. This is his story about the damage and awful things done to a handful of people. The combination of physically being in the “Third world” and maybe criminally being in the
“Third world” is how Eggers chooses to define this story. It is engaging from beginning to end.
