Our July Pick transports us to Revolutionary America through the eyes of a founding mother: Abigail Adams. Told over the course of 50 years, readers will get to intimately know the formidable woman behind two U.S. presidents and her profound influence on a young country. Abigail’s story sheds a light on the oftentimes forgotten women in history and serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and perseverance women continue to demonstrate in times of uncertainty.
Reese Says: “Celebrating America’s 250th with a story about one remarkable woman.”
“Abigail was a wife navigating a difficult path between love and the law; between money and marriage. All at the birth of a new nation still deciding what it meant to be an American, much less an American woman. Her marriage was not a love story because it was always happy and romantic. It was a true love story because, from start to finish, it was itself a quest for a more perfect union.” - Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie
