    <body><![CDATA[This book has worth if you read a range of Jefferson biographies. I would not rely on it as a single source about Jefferson's life. Fawn Brodie is gossipy and takes liberties :) with Jefferson. I believe that Jefferson had a long term relationship with Sally Hemings. I believe Hemings bore his child...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24965180">more...</a>]]></body>

I haven't read much biography but Brodie had a troubling use of psychoanalysis mixed in with historical record.
