Author Stephanie Dray discusses her new novel co-written with Laura Kamoie, A Founding Mother. This novel is a sweeping, intimate portrayal of Abigail Adams — wife of one president and mother to another — whose wit, willpower, and wisdom helped shape the fledgling republic. From war-torn streets to the chandeliered halls of power, learn the unforgettable story of a woman ahead of her time — one whose voice, vision, and valor still resonate powerfully today. Dray discusses this stunning historical novel with modern-day implications.

According to PrincetonBookReview.com:

The book spans several decades. And while it occasionally slows down as it delves into historical events, it does a wonderful job of making Abigail real and keeps the reader engaged throughout. It really highlights the significant roles that women played in the founding of America, reminding us just how important their contributions were. It’s an enjoyable read that combines history with a personal touch!

This book is a great choice for anyone who enjoys biographical historical fiction and is interested in early American history. It’s also a good pick for book clubs, especially those that want to learn about extraordinary women who have made a significant impact on our world.
