Married in 1764, Abigail and John Adams worked side by side for a decade, raising a family while John became one of the most prosperous, respected lawyers in Massachusetts. When his duties as a statesman and diplomat during the Revolutionary War expanded, Abigail and John endured lengthy separations. But their loyalty and love remained strong, as their passionate, forthright letters attest. It's in this correspondence that Abigail comes into her own as an independent woman. It's 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 is a lively 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 paved the way for the birth of a nation.

Married in 1764, Abigail and John Adams worked side by side raising a family while John became one of the most respected lawyers in Massachusetts. When his duties as a statesman and diplomat during the Revolutionary War expanded, the Adamses endured lengthy separations. But throughout war, political upheaval and family tragedy, their loyalty and love remained strong. In Abigail and John, acclaimed scholar Edith Gelles presents the first dual biography of America’s original “power couple."
