In Pay-Per-HAP Episode 47, HAP, LLC escorts viewers to March 4th, 1825, when Louisa Catherine Adams has recently decided not to attend the presidential inauguration of her husband John Quincy Adams. A decision that prompts her to reflect on a tumultuous life in the public eye, she recalls her childhood in England and France; to her adventures as wife to an American diplomat, where she charmed heads of state from Berlin to St. Petersburg! These memories offer a glimpse into international affairs during an age of revolution.

When Louisa and JQA return to the States, Louisa's flair for entertaining and political savvy afford the couple great fortune, as they travel between Boston and Washington, DC. Louisa supports her husband's rise to presidential power, but now stands in the shadows... Why, in this moment, as her husband achieves the coveted office, does she not present a unified front?
