This book shows Mary Lincoln in a much different light than books about Abraham Lincoln.Usually depicted as a highly emotional person, on the verge of losing her sanity.  Mary comes across as a very wise lady who knew what she wanted and how to get it.Mary shows no fear when confronted with life's troubles while she and Tad enjoy their life together.Mary finds that being the widow of Abe to be more of liability than an asset.  Mary accepts just being an ordinary person and finds it much easier than being a presidents widow.A short book, which can fill an afternoon or evening with the way women were really treated back then.
