Barefoot to Wings
I bought this book at the Lincoln museum in Springfield Ill. during my "summer of Lincoln" in 2010. I became obsessed with Lincoln. The museum is fantastic. You walk though exhibits in chronological order of Lincoln's life so by the time I got to his assassination I was in tears. I couldn't believe it - crying over a museum exhibit when I already knew he was assassinated! That's how good the museum is.
There were several books about Mary Lincoln to choose from in the museum book store. This one seemed to be recommended by the museum. I found it fascinating. What an interesting and tragic life she had! The author I thought was factual and left the reader to draw conclusions on their own - was she really crazy or was her life just so tragic that she acted erratic? I'm not sure anybody wouldn't be a little screwed up after living her life!
