This was absolutely one of the best reads. I loved it, loved it, loved it. How fast those 600 some pages flew by. I hated to give the book up but i have a rule--"share the good, i can't keep more than a small white bag will hold" I read so many things i did not know about Mary Lincoln and truely was in awe. She had "issues" and many of them. She also seduced her husband in a time when it was not very lady like to approach a man in such a manner. She was a horder and they were poor and i do believe she tried very hard to keep up appearances when it was the last thing on Mr Lincolns mind, but as women of that time so often did they thought of what others would think of them rather than just be happy as you are. Mary was placed in an mental faculity near where i live, but i am not so sure she belonged there. Today her "issues" would of been dealt with much differently. I believed she suffered from some great depression and insecurites from living poor. I believe she was a woman of her own mind and went after what she wanted. If she had lived now instead of then, and gotten modern help, she could most likely of "Rocked The World".. This was as an exceptional novel.
