In 1855, with the United States at odds over slavery, the lawyer Abraham Lincoln wrote a note to his best friend, the son of a Kentucky slaveowner. Lincoln rebuked his friend for failing to oppose slavery. But he added: “If for this you and I must differ, differ we must,” and said they would be friends forever. Throughout his life and political career, Lincoln often agreed to disagree.

The excellent level of detail, both in the written and spoken language of Lincoln and his associates.

I liked the sometimes emotionally charged portions of speeches, which offers us a deeper sense of Lincoln’s thinking.

In 2009, after a divorce that left her heartbroken and directionless, Kristin decided to accept an offer to live at a friend's cabin outside of Denali National Park in Alaska for a few months. In exchange for housing, she would take care of her friend's eight sled dogs. That winter, she learned that she was tougher than she ever knew. She learned how to survive in one of the most remote places on Earth and she learned she was strong enough to be alone. She fell in love twice: first with running sled dogs, and then with Andy, a man who had moved to Alaska to heal a broken heart.

I liked the emotional engagement in every page. Half as many f-bombs would not have diminished the story.

Lots of food for thought.
I especially appreciate the ways this author connected her research and advice to those of Atul Gawande in his book, ‘Being Mortal.’

Ty Seidule grew up revering Robert E. Lee. From his southern childhood to his service in the US Army, every part of his life reinforced the Lost Cause myth: that Lee was the greatest man who ever lived, and that the Confederates were underdogs who lost the Civil War with honor. Now, as a retired brigadier general and Professor Emeritus of History at West Point, his view has radically changed. From a soldier, a scholar, and a southerner, Ty Seidule believes that American history demands a reckoning.

This author takes us on an interesting journey as over a lengthy process he learns to be true to himself and shapes his perspective to reflect the facts he uncovers in his study of the history of our nation.

I appreciate the way the author weaves the past and present together in ways that for me were most enjoyable because the story is uplifting and exciting at the same time.
