"This book was amazing. I loved every word of it. Truly felt like I knew the women at the end. Fantastic for anyone interested in American Women's history or this wonderful family."
"This author makes the Adams women come alive. You share their joys and sorrows, triumphs and tragedies in a way that makes you feel you are right there, amidst their flesh and blood existence. His psychological analysis of the characters, based on tremendous research, is spellbinding. I have ordered every book by Paul Nagel, and have never been disappointed. This is the third of his that I have read, have two to go, and really look forward to them."
"Bought and read this while on a trip in Boston- I seem to remember some excerpts of letters between John & Abigail that made me wish letter writing was not a lost art-"
