After forty years of marriage, Abigail looks back to the days of her early marriage as a young wife and mother. Referring to the many letters written between the John and Abigail Adams, she recalls the days of revolution and uncertainty. In this 250th anniversary year, the Revolution is discussed in more detail since she lived through it. She reminisces about the friendships forged in France and England as a diplomat's wife, the divisive election of 1800, and her management of the Adams' farm. Mrs. Adams brings to life the early days of Washington, D.C. as seen from the windows of an unfinished White House.
