A stunning historical novel with modern-day implications from the New York Times bestselling authors of America’s First Daughter and My Dear Hamilton.In the heart of revolutionary Boston, Abigail Adams raises her children amid riots, blockades, and the outbreak of war. While her husband, John Adams, rises from country lawyer to nation-builder, often away for years at a time, Abigail builds her own independence—managing their farm, making lucrative investments, amassing savings, battling plague and loss, and defending their home. Unafraid to speak her mind, she famously offers fearless political counsel, urging John to “remember the ladies” in the new government. Through it all, she becomes his most trusted confidante and indispensable ally.When peace is secured, Abigail steps onto the world stage—exchanging ideas with Thomas Jefferson in the French countryside, navigating court life as the wife of the Minister to Great Britain, and presiding over the parlor politics of the early American republic in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. Even after her husband’s presidential administration, she continues battling political foes and working behind the scenes to advance her family, secure independence for the women in her life, and ensure a better life for the next generation of Americans.From war-torn streets to the chandeliered halls of power, A Founding Mother is the unforgettable story of a woman ahead of her time—one whose voice, vision, and valor still resonate powerfully today.Stephanie Dray is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of historical fiction. Her award-winning work tops lists for the most anticipated reads of the year. She lives near the nation’s capital with her husband, cats, and history books. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/wake-forest/author-event-stephanie-dray/100001988577901033 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Page 158 Books - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Wake Forest - **state**: NC - **country**: United States - **location**: Page 158 Books - **lat**: 35.97401139999999 - **long**: -78.5087031 - **full address**: Page 158 Books, 415 Brooks Street, Wake Forest, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Author Event: Stephanie Dray - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/1bed8291b893709a060050e198068e116fb8be37e406a731a21befb0d09e4dc9-rimg-w1200-h675-dc4b6179-gmir.jpg?v=1777792838 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Author Event: Stephanie Dray being held? - **A:** Author Event: Stephanie Dray takes place on Mon, 29 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Mon, 29 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Page 158 Books, 415 Brooks Street, Wake Forest, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Author Event: Stephanie Dray? - **A:** Author Event: Stephanie Dray is organized by Page 158 Books. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
