Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Dearest Friend (A Life of Abigail Adams)


This book tells just how much time Abigail spent separated from John Adams, how lonely she got, and how much the Adams family sacrificed for America. It also gives a good basic outline of the politics that separated North from South and Federalist from Republicans (party politics), but not so much that it gets utterly boring.
