“Laura Kamoie draws upon her deep knowledge and appreciation of Thomas Jefferson's unique contributions and deep contradictions in this lively and informative depiction of his role in shaping the foundation of the United States of America. More than that though, she shows us in a moving coda how Jefferson's work on the Declaration of Independence has inspired generations of people seeking the blessings of liberty ever since.”
Lars Hedbor, author of the Tales from a Revolution series
“With beautiful writing and a deep understanding of her subject matter, Laura Kamoie brings life to the young, conflicted, idealist, Thomas Jefferson, in the momentous summer of 1776, when he is asked to write the document that would change his life and forge a new nation.”
Stephanie Dray, New York Times bestselling author of Lily of the Nile & The Women of Chateau Lafayette
Testimonials
Step inside the summer of 1776, where the air is thick with revolution and one man’s pen shapes the soul of a new nation. In this powerful BARDEUM experience, bestselling historical novelist Laura Kamoie brings to life the charged days leading to America’s independence through the eyes of Thomas Jefferson—philosopher, patriot, and principal author of the Declaration of Independence.
As you walk the grounds of the Jefferson Memorial, witness the quiet tension of drafting a world-changing document, the moral contradictions of a man who dreamed of liberty while owning slaves, and the political battles that nearly unraveled the fight for unity. From candlelit writing sessions to whispered debates and history-making votes, To Begin the World Again is a vivid, immersive journey through the birth of American democracy and the enduring legacy of Jefferson’s flawed but revolutionary vision.
