She made a life with one man 末 but always loved another...

Public scandals of a family destined for political greatness 末 and the private secrets of a woman who traded her childhood dreams for a role she was born to play 末 this is the story of the Adams family of Boston and Martha's Vineyard...

LIZ: As a young girl, Liz always knew that her father, Boston power broker Will Adams, had big plans 末 dreams and schemes that would bring Liz's older brother all the way to the White House. But when fate deals the family a tragic blow, Will is forced to change his picture-perfect plans 末 and place the family's political future squarely on Liz's shoulders.

BEBE: The family rebel, BeBe had built a business and a life exactly where it was best: fifteen hundred miles from the family turmoil of Boston. But now, as the family's darkest hour looms, BeBe must return...

DANNY: Liz's son, beset by a tragedy of his own, now faces a challenge even greater when he learns about loss and family loyalty and the power of the expectations of others.

Though I'm a native of Massachusetts, politics has never interested me. However, as we rolled into another Presidential election season, I wondered about the potential First Ladies...though our media investigates the candidates inside out, upwards and down, little is mentioned about the candidate's wife other than the typical boring statistics.

But what if her past is the one that's a bit tainted?

What if she harbors secrets she wouldn't want to be made public?

What if it was the candidate's wife 末 not the candidate 末 whose background could sway a Presidential election...and skew the next four or eight years of world history?

Hmm. I was on Route 495 headed South toward the ferry when I made a note in my notebook that I keep on my console...What if? I asked, then added First Lady...
