A fascinating and intimate novel of the life of Mary Todd Lincoln, narrated by the First Lady herself. Mary Todd Lincoln is one of history's most misunderstood and enigmatic women. She was a political strategist, a supporter of emancipation, and a mother who survived the loss of three children and the assassination of her beloved husband. She also ran her family into debt, held séances in the White House, and was committed to an insane asylum - which is where Janis Cooke Newman's debut novel begins.

What did you like best about this story?
Mary Lincoln comes to life in all her charm, shortcomings, forthrightness, and fortitude. Her very public humiliations are laid bare for all to judge.
Have you listened to any of Anne Buelteman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first audiobook by Anne Buelteman, and I will seek out her narration regardless of title.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I could barely stop listening, often taking it to bed with me. The performance by Anne Buelteman made this a powerful piece of theatre, and I felt as close as one could be to both the joys and the sorrows of Mary Todd Lincoln.
Any additional comments?
An entire chapter (part 2, chapter 2) is out of order, and belongs after part 1, chapter 7. It was irksome to piece it together. Also there are at least half a dozen instances where the editor did not hear the narrator say "going back" or "pickup" when a correction was necessary. This is the first Audible recording I've heard with these irregularities.
