Abraham Lincoln's Human Story

Lincoln's Diary is a fast-paced story about a young woman's determination to unbury secrets, including the disappearance of a private Lincoln diary her mysterious grandfather once owned. And when she hunts down a professor who likely swindled her mother out of it so he could prove Lincoln planned his own assassination, she's accused of his murder. Running from police and a stalker who's bent on destroying any evidence the diary exists, Sarah turns to the only person she trusts - herself.

Amid much controversy over the legacies of historical figures comes a novel that explores Lincoln's complex and evolving views on slavery, emancipation, abolition, and racial equality. But more than a Lincoln novel, it is the lost story of a young man who likely was more influential than any celebrated abolitionist when it came to turning Lincoln from a pragmatic segregationist to a champion of freedom and equality for all.
