Review: Short Story Well Worth The Read

There was little to dislike about this short story - except that it was a "short" story! I loved everything about it. But then, I love anything to do with the Lincoln family. Told from the persepctive of the little neighbor girl you will garner delightful insights into the life of the Lincoln children - as well as some other historical events gathered mostly from her diary. I had previously read a book on the neighborhood friends of Mary Todd Lincoln in Washington and this little girl was touched upon there, however I learned even more about her special relationship with the President and his boys from this story. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in little tid-bits about the Lincoln family life while in the White House. I do not think you will be disappointed -- except for the fact that it is a short story and not a novel.
