Loving Mr. Lincoln—presented in Mary Lincoln's "own words" — chronicles her life, love, and daily struggles with Abraham in their 26 years together. In frank, haunting journal entries, Mary Lincoln describes the pain she felt when Abraham left her at the altar, when her sons died, and when Abraham's political career seemed to be at an end. She also writes from her heart about the tragic years of slavery and the Civil War. She worries about her own shifting moods and Abraham's frequent bouts of depression, but she delights in the deep and binding love evident in the Lincoln marriage. 

Mary Lincoln's diary entries recount how and why she pushed her quiet husband toward the Presidency and describe her joy at finally achieving her life-long ambition of reaching the White House. You will be enthralled as you peek inside the life of one of the world's most famous couples and share their life and love.
