Very interesting read. I really enjoyed it. Loved the glimpse into the Lincoln White House. The whole story of a freed black/colored woman being a witness to history and a confidante to Mrs. Lincoln while also running her own business was enlightening. More wonderful is her writing her memoir so that we can look back on how it all was. This novel is based on that memoir.
If you saw the movie Lincoln then this is a fitting continuation of the story from the perspectives of Mrs. Lincoln and Elizabeth Keckley.
