Their letters to one another showed that John considered Abigail not his wife, but his best friend, his intellectual equal and his greatest confidante. The book starts with the meeting of Abigail and John and their courtship in spite of her mother''s initial disapproval. It centers mostly on Abigail who had the burden of making it all work while her husband pursued his political ambitions.
