Dearest Friend A Life of Abigail Adams by Lynne Withey is the biography of Abigail Adams, the unschooled minister's daughter who became the most influential woman in Revolutionary America. Excerpts from her letters give a vivid portrait of the life and times she encountered. She was a keen observer of politics, and fully grasped the implications of the Revolution on women. Although she and her husband John lived apart for more than a decade as John traveled in America and abroad, their love endured throughout their 54 year marriage. The book was originally published in 1981 and brought to life the legacy of Abigail Adams.
