We think we know John and Abigail Adams; we think of John Hancock mostly for his famous signature; and Quincy is a name that we may recognize but can’t explain. The author’s vivid descriptions reveal the human beings who carried these names into the history books. Their belief in democracy created a vision for others to follow; their hard work made it possible. Woven into the book are issues such as slavery, women’s rights, and divided loyalties that resonate even today.
