The Women in Lincoln's Life

If you want to read a really, really sad story about one of our most beloved presidents, this is it. The author H. Donald Winkler did a lot of research and even had "almost relative" reasons for writing this book, having "almost" been a relative of Abraham Lincoln.

Here's what the introduction said, "How the sixteenth American president was shaped by fascinating women who loved, hated, helped, charmed, and deceived him." I enjoyed the book, almost couldn't put it down until I was finished with it. You wouldn't believe how many women influenced Abe and I won't tell you - you have to read it yourself!
