First Family: Abigail and John by Joseph J. Ellis, John Adams, Abigail Adams

3.0

While I enjoyed the book I was a bit disappointed that it didn't go into as much detail about the family. The title led me to believe there would be detailed information about John & Abigail AND their children. There is much, while interesting, about their relationship as well as their relationship with others outside the family very little is really shared about their children. Why did their son Charles and later son Thomas succomb to alcoholism? Just one of many unanswered questions from the information included by the author.
