Witness to a Revolution
by Natalie S. Bober
Review this book!
A biography of an extraordinary woman who was the wife of one president and the mother of another. Abigail Adams kept firsthand accounts of America's history through letters she wrote to her husband while he was away serving in the Continental Congress. This biography uses those letters as well as other resources to paint a full picture of an articulate woman with a strong sense of humor who raised her children and ran a working farm on her own.

Media Reviews
"Abigail Adams fairly jumps off the page at you in Bober's wonderful prose; a real sense of this strong, no-nonsense lady pervades the book and gives a wonderful impression of how difficult life, travel, love, and marriage was in the 18th century....There have been many excellent biographies of both John and Abigail published, but this one is by far the best for young adult readers."
