“Spiced with sexual mischief, political conflict and family tragedy . . . Her biography is nothing less than captivating, an engrossing read.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette   Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams, wife and political partner of John Quincy Adams, became one of the most widely known women in America when her husband assumed office as sixth president in 1825. Shrewd, intellectual, and articulate, she was close to the center of American power over many decades, and extensive archives reveal her as an unparalleled observer of the politics, personalities, and issues of her day. Louisa left behind a trove of journals, essays, letters, and other writings, yet no biographer has mined these riches until now. Margery Heffron brings Louisa out of the shadows at last to offer the first full and nuanced portrait of an extraordinary first lady.   The book begins with Louisa’s early life in London and Nantes, France, then details her excruciatingly awkward courtship and engagement to John Quincy, her famous diplomatic success in tsarist Russia, her life as a mother, years abroad as the wife of a distinguished diplomat, and finally the Washington, D.C., era when, as a legendary hostess, she made no small contribution to her husband’s successful bid for the White House. Louisa’s sharp insights as a tireless recorder provide a fresh view of early American democratic society, presidential politics and elections, and indeed every important political and social issue of her time.   “[A] sparkling biography . . . [A] fascinating, if partial, portrait of an exceptional woman.”—The New York Times Book Review (cover review)   “Superb . . . Heffron is a spirited, elegant writer.”—Open Letters Monthly

Mobi Louisa Catherine: The Other Mrs. Adams with Free MOBI EDITION!

Margery Heffron not only added a full historical portrait of a heretofore relatively minor character, Louisa Catherine, but she added a third dimension to the well known historical characters who surrounded her - John Quincy Adams, John Adams, and Abigail Adams. Using her exceptional research and interpretive skills, Heffron exposed the underside of Abigail Adams as a Mother-in-Law, John Adams as a Father-in-Law, and John Quincy as a husband and father. Abigail would have won no awards as a Mother-in-Law; she was harsh to and about Louisa Catherine, so much so, that Louisa refused to go to Abigail's home for many years. John Adams and Louisa had a sweet relationship and he proved to be her champion from the first. John Quincy was a singularly difficult character all of this life and made no accommodation to anyone, including Louisa except when she was ill, which was often.Physically fragile most of her adult life, Louisa Catherine was a woman of true grit. Although her formal education ended at age fourteen, she proved her intelligence many times over in her grasp of French and her ability to socialize in the highest circles both as guest and hostess, and her ability to be the woman behind the man, finally seeing John Quincy as President of the United States.This book reads like a novel with an easy and steady rhythm, which is full testament of Heffron's talent and skill. Like Margery Heffron's life, which ended too soon and as she was writing this book, this story of Louisa Catherine ended abruptly with John Quincy entering the White House and Louisa Catherine becoming quite ill. Having given us the essence of this 18th Century woman, Margery Heffron also left her own legacy while adding to our historical knowledge of an important American family.
