Deeply researched and based on their original letters, Family Letters provides a unique look into their personal lives - from Stephen and Abby's courtship through the years of their daughter's childhood.

Join Lynne McKenney Lydick and Thomas R. Lydick as they share the private letters of this very public Massachusetts couple.
