A group of friends, families and strangers flee together in an abandoned bus and head for the hills above town. Led by Da´Naisha Love, they arrive at Monticello, the historic plantation-home of Thomas Jefferson, deserted but for its ghosts. As a young Black descendant of Jefferson and Sally Hemings, Da´Naisha has a complex relationship with the house. Tentative at first, the group explores rooms, forages on the grounds, and finds a kind of shelter. But the terror from their town is coming closer, and soon they have an impossible decision to make. My Monticello is the story of nineteen heart-stopping days of refuge and reclamation, told by Da´Naisha with courage and with grace.
