Description

Married in 1764, Abigail and John Adams worked side by side for a decade, raising a circle of relatives even as John became one of the prosperous, respected lawyers in Massachusetts. When his duties as a statesman and diplomat throughout the Revolutionary War expanded, Abigail and John endured lengthy separations. But their loyalty and love remained strong, as their passionate, forthright letters attest. It is on this correspondence that Abigail comes into her own as an independent woman. It is also in these exchanges that we learn about the familial tragedies that tested them: the early deaths of their son Charles from alcoholism and their daughter Nabby from breast cancer.

As much a romance as it’s a full of life chapter in early American history, Abigail and John is an inspirational portrait of a couple who endured the turmoil and trials of a revolution, and in so doing cleared the path for the birth of a nation.
