"A decent story, but not too terribly interesting. I did learn some history though. I don't know how valid the history in this book was, but at the very least, it made a good backdrop for the story. I did like how it showed the two sides and how that not everything is black and white, especially in war."
"I enjoyed this rousing story of the weeks surrounding the Boston Massacre. My knowledge of history is not strong and reading historical fiction is an easy way to get the flavor of the times. I liked Rachel Marsh, a girl who really did work for the Adams'. Her background and personality is fictional. She learned about what freedom/liberty is and learned the importance of making one's own way, being responsible for oneself. John Adams trod a difficult path during this turbulent time, defending the British soldiers, risking the loss of his friends. I thought this showed his solid character."
"My first book by Rinaldi and won't be my last. Compelling story with a main character that was easy to identify with. Rachel Marsh, the primary character, is an indentured servant to John and Abigail Adams and her job is to take care of their children. Rachel was a real person who was an indentured servant to the Adams family. I've read too many books about John and Abigail Adams for much of the information in the book to be new to me but I did learn some interesting tidbits about John Hancock and Paul Revere. John Hancock was much more than the man who penned the largest signature on the Declaration of Independence. He was a rich, altruistic young merchant determined not to let British Customs men on his ship and to risk his fortune fighting the Townsend Acts. Paul Revere sold sketches that were printed in the Boston newspaper. The Author's Note was a pleasure to read because Rinaldi cited the historical facts to distinguish history from the parts she fabricated for the story. She also included a list of books and maps she used for her research."
