Richards begins in 1744, the year of Abigail Smith’s birth, with a lively sketch of the world she was born into. She follows her through a minister’s household in Weymouth, marriage to John Adams, the long separations of the Revolution, the letters that made her famous, life in Europe and in the President’s house, and her pride in her son John Quincy.
