First Family: Abigail and John by Joseph J. Ellis, John Adams, Abigail Adams
2.0
I was lucky enough to borrow this audiobook from the library's Libby app. I always enjoy reading about Abigail Adams and her husband, John.
Since I've already read David McCullough's masterpiece, as well as two biographies of Abigail Adams, plus Cokie Roberts' Founding Mothers, I really didn't think this book added much to the conversation. It was interesting to see the couple tackled as such, but I thought the author was a bit condescending toward Abigail. The woman took care of the household, farm, and all concerns ALONE while her husband was going about the business of building a federal republic.
