Oh. My. Goodness. The author did a lot of research for this one. Everyone knows about Mary Todd Lincoln, all the heartache she went through in the late 1850's and into the 1870's, loosing children, her husband. But you aren't always told about how she dealt with that heartache, other than her famous seances to meet up with her departed children and husband. This book took you into the days after and how Mary exhibited her grief was the only way she knew how. You don't hear a lot about her after the assassination of her husband. But this really put you up in front with the uncontrollable grief she had and the only way she knew how to deal with it. That her own son would commit her thinking she was crazy. That finally, after years of torment, she got some peace before she passed. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Abraham Lincoln or the Civil War. A very eye-opening, good read!
