As radical abolitinist lecturers for the American Anti-slavery Society, Abby Kelley and Stephen Foster experienced long periods of separation. 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.
