      abstract = {A look at the parents of the American presidents, full of  facts and anecdotes as well as psychological profiles based  on Wead's findings. He analyzes the types of families into  which our presidents were born, and sheds a fascinating  light on how their destinies were shaped during childhood.  Using papers and letters, as well as private conversations  and interviews with six presidents and first ladies, Wead  focuses on the early life of George Washington; John Adams,  John Quincy Adams, and the making of our nation's first  political empire; the humble beginnings of our greatest  president, Abraham Lincoln; the privileged upbringing of  Franklin Delano Roosevelt; the ambitious rise of John  Fitzgerald Kennedy; and the "quiet dynasty" led by George  H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush.},
