“A badass debut by any measure―nimble, knowing, and electrifying.” ―Colson Whitehead, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Nickel Boys and Harlem Shuffle

A young woman descended from Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings driven from her neighborhood by a white militia. A university professor studying racism by conducting a secret social experiment on his own son. A single mother desperate to buy her first home even as the world hurtles toward catastrophe. Each fighting to survive in America.

Tough-minded, vulnerable, and brave, Jocelyn Nicole Johnson’s precisely imagined debut explores burdened inheritances and extraordinary pursuits of belonging. Set in the near future, the eponymous novella, “My Monticello,” tells of a diverse group of Charlottesville neighbors fleeing violent white supremacists. Led by Da’Naisha, a young Black descendant of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, they seek refuge in Jefferson’s historic plantation home in a desperate attempt to outlive the long-foretold racial and environmental unravelling within the nation.

In “Control Negro,” hailed by Roxane Gay as “one hell of story,” a university professor devotes himself to the study of racism and the development of ACMs (average American Caucasian males) by clinically observing his own son from birth in order to “painstakingly mark the route of this Black child too, one whom I could prove was so strikingly decent and true that America could not find fault in him unless we as a nation had projected it there.” Johnson’s characters all seek out home as a place and an internal state, whether in the form of a Nigerian widower who immigrates to a meager existence in the city of Alexandria, finding himself adrift; a young mixed-race woman who adopts a new tongue and name to escape the landscapes of rural Virginia and her family; or a single mother who seeks salvation through “Buying a House Ahead of the Apocalypse.”

United by these characters’ relentless struggles against reality and fate, My Monticello is a formidable book that bears witness to this country’s legacies and announces the arrival of a wildly original new voice in American fiction.

Great to get clean, clear skin!
While its claims are to help with jock itch, athletes foot and body acne, I don't have those conditions. I purchased it to help my eczema rash breakouts that are itchy and bumpy. This works great to reduce both! Tea tree products tend to have a recognizable, and to me, unpleasant odor. This one has a more pleasant scent than any other product I've tried. I've since tried less expensive tea tree/eucalyptus soaps with no results at all and none had the fresh, clean scent of this one! I'm very happy with this product and have just signed up for the subscription!

Great product, terrible leaky packaging!
This wash is fantastic, my skin loves it, I love the sweet woodsy scent ... but the tube / product packaging seems to be cheap. The flip cap has a VERY weak hinge which broke during transit and leaked all over my sink and countertop. I'm treating the original packaging as unreliable by taping it shut during storage and using a generic dispenser day to day.

Not just for “Active People”!
I originally bought this for my SO. He’s a chef, and after working long hours in a hot kitchen wearing a heavy chef’s uniform, he has a lot of uncomfortable sweat-related issues. He liked it so much that I decided to try it for the chub rub and underboob rashes that plague me every summer. Sweet relief! My swampy spots are clean and healthy, and it’s surprisingly moisturizing for a purifying cleanser. I’m also really sensitive to perfumes and heavy fragrances, but the tea tree, eucalyptus, and thyme combo is clean and fresh, and somehow simultaneously energizing and calming. As for the price, a small amount of this cleanser goes a really long way. We would normally go through a water-based cheaper cleanser in this size in about a week. We’ve been using this for 2 weeks and it’s only about halfway gone. I try to be thrifty with most things but this product is more than worth the price tag!

A little goes a long way
The first thing I noticed was the scent, which I would think others would also find appealing. When I used it, I was happy to find that a little product went a long way. Although this is a liquid soap, it felt like a bar soap on my skin. For me, it did a great job at cleaning and deodorizing my skin.
