A Founding Mother: A Novel of Abigail Adams

Among the wives of the Founding Fathers, Abigail Adams stands out as the outspoken and a rare advocate for women. This novel follows her life from the early days of her marriage to John Adams through to her final years. Her marriage had plenty of ups and downs, with long separations and the tradegy of seeing many of her children precede her in death. There are things I do miss had been better explored, such as John Adams' complex personality, but I largely think the authors did their best to incorporate as much as possible into this novel. Overall, a good read that serves as an introduction to a remarkable woman.

Historical fiction at it's best, a novel that flows like we are there with Abigail!
This is a story of her life and the birth of a nation. The sacrifices that she made are incredible, but she is also very smart. She did fight for women's rights, hard to believe that women really had nothing!
As we follow this courageous women and all the obstacles she faced, you truly see how amazing she was. She fights on and takes pride in both her husband and children, and country.
I did not realize that she had so much tragedy in her life, she was such a roll model!
I am so glad to have read this book about such a courageous women!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher William Morrow, and was not required to give a positive review.

History brought to life by two authors that have proven themselves with their prior stories.
The life of Abigail Adams, her husband, her children and extended family and their impact in history and events.
The audiobook is told from Abigail’s perspective. We follow her from just prior to her marriage at 16 until her 70’s and the legacy she left behind.

I found myself actively looking up a few of the facts I’m sure I learned in school at some point. This story made the facts more intriguing. Clearly a strong woman and someone to remember.

Interesting and impactful.
