Loving Lincoln

Loving Lincoln: A Personal History of the Women Who Shaped Lincoln's Life and Legacy features thirty historical and personal essays, and within them, the stories of more than ninety women, each with their own mini biographies in an appendix.

Among them are Lincoln's friends, clients, and extended family, as well as writers, artists, and--blurring the lines between history and memoir--author Stacy Lynn herself.

Lynn presents a fresh perspective on Lincoln, connecting his story to the stories of women and showcasing his kindness, sensitivity, and moral center.

She explores how women shaped Lincoln's inspirational legacy and pays homage to all the women who gave Lincoln to the world.
