My Thomas by Roberta Grimes

My Thomas by Roberta Grimes

When Martha Skelton finds herself falling in love with a shy young burgess named Thomas Jefferson, it feels like an inconvenience. Widowed at twenty-two, Martha has no desire to lose the independence she has gained in the wake of her husband's death. But she cannot deny her feelings indefinitely. Despite her intentions, her friendship with Thomas develops into an intense and all-consuming love. History casts a shadow on Martha's newfound joy. Through her father's slave and mistress, Betty Hemings, she comes to understand the true nature of slavery, an institution she has always taken for granted. As Betty's revelations tear down the walls of her ignorance, Martha begins to work with her husband to end the despicable practice forever. This story is true. Thomas Jefferson was such an obsessive record-keeper that we know what he was doing nearly every day of his adult life, and all the public things he is quoted as saying in My Thomas come from his contemporary writings. Martha's marriage to Thomas spanned the decade from 1772 to 1782, so it put her at the center of the audacious grab at freedom that was the American Revolution. Jefferson's writings suggest that if he had not been widowed, he would have retired from politics following the war and devoted himself to finding a way to end slavery that could have truly and forever healed the separations between the races. It is hard to read Martha's story now and not think about what might have been.

Roberta Grimes is a business attorney who had two extraordinary experiences of light in childhood. She then spent decades studying nearly 200 years of abundant and consistent communications from the dead, quantum mechanics, and the nature of consciousness and she shares what she has learned about what actually is going on in an enjoyable and easily understood trilogy. The Fun of Dying - Find Out What Really Happens Next details what we now know about the afterlife. The Fun of Staying in Touch details some of the ways that the dead give us signs of their survival, and also many of the ways that we can communicate with them. The Fun of Growing Forever reveals what must be the easiest and most powerful method for attaining rapid spiritual growth and building your own best life, both while you are on earth and forevermore. Other books by Roberta Grimes include Liberating Jesus, which uses close Gospel analysis combined with what we are learning from the dead to explain the genuine meaning and message of Jesus. Flying High in Spirit is the memoir of a very advanced being who took another brief earth-lifetime, dying in 2007 at the age of 20, so he would be able to teach us the truth in the voice of a cheerful American boy. My Thomas is the true story of Thomas Jefferson's life and marriage during the Revolutionary War. And the Atlantica Saga is a developing seven-novel series spanning half a millennium that uses what we are learning about the way reality actually works to tell five adventurous and beautiful love stories.

She hosts her own live show called Seek Reality on the BBM Global Network, and podcasts of previous Seek Reality shows dating back to 2013 are available for free on WebTalkRadio.net and on iTunes, where her archive has had hundreds of thousands of downloads.
