The short life of Theodosia Burr (1783–1813) is hauntingly realized in this bestselling historical novel about the daughter of Aaron Burr, Thomas Jefferson’s vice president. A central figure in her father’s political fate, Theodosia was immortalized in her father’s famous letter that began, “To my dearest Theodosia.” From the unsettling calm surrounding Burr before his duel with Alexander Hamilton to Theodosia’s passionate relationship with a young soldier, the delicate relationship between one father and daughter is poignantly captured.
