In this rich and engrossing account, John and Abigail Adams come to life against the backdrop of the Republics tenuous early years. Drawing on over 1,200 letters exchanged between the couple, Ellis tells a story both personal and panoramic. We learn about the many years Abigail and John spent apart as Johns political career sent him first to Philadelphia, then to Paris and Amsterdam; their relationship with their children; and Abigails role as Johns closest and most valued advisor. Exquisitely researched and beautifully written, First Family is both a revealing portrait of a marriage and a unique study of Americas early years.About the Author:JOSEPH J. ELLIS is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Founding Brothers. His portrait of Thomas Jefferson, American Sphinx, won the National Book Award. He lives in Amherst, Massachusetts, with his wife, Ellen, his youngest son, three dogs, and a cat.
