A Founding Mother: Co-Authors Dray & Kamoie on Abigail Adams and Resilience

Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie join the podcast to discuss A Founding Mother, their new historical fiction novel illuminating Abigail Adams’ lasting imprint on the United States as the wife of one president and the mother of another. With America’s 250th on the horizon, they explore why the Revolutionary era still resonates today, how they collaborate as co-authors to bring history to life, and the personal resilience required to finish the book, especially as Kamoie faced a breast cancer diagnosis that echoed a poignant thread in the Adams family’s own historical record.
