I loved Susanna. Yes, she was lead to believe that she had to marry well (like it was in that day). But she eventually grew out of it and learned to love Ben. I loved that she was so willing to help Dottie. I loved her Grandma-- who knew who her heart belonged to long before Susanna did. Ben was a great guy and a great hero.
I loved that it drew some from the real lives of John and Abigail Adams. It was interesting to read the author's note about what she used.
