About the book
Novelists Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie tell the story of Abigail Adams, wife of one president and mother of another. In revolutionary Boston she raises her children through riots, blockades and war while John Adams, often away for years, rises from country lawyer to nation-builder. Abigail runs the farm, invests and saves, battles plague and loss, defends the household and urges John to remember the ladies. After the peace she exchanges views with Thomas Jefferson in rural France, navigates court life while John serves as Minister to Great Britain, and presides over parlor politics in New York, Philadelphia and Washington. The historical novel arrived in time for the United States' 250th anniversary.
Reese Witherspoon selected it for Reese's Book Club in July 2026.
