Fascinating story of Mary Lincoln, who I think is one of the most misunderstood women in history. She endured the deaths of three of her four sons, and the assassination of her husband. She surely did have 'issues' but she was treated horribly by her only surviving son, Robert. This story is told in the first person, from the time of the death of her mother when Mary was only six to her time spent in Bellvue, where she was sent after being found 'insane'.
