Reviews
On Dec 20 2020, a reader said:
A perfect tribute to the modesty, kindness and pure humanity of Lincoln. Her story teaches us the strength of love over hate, of humility over arrogance, of kindness over winning. In this fiction comes a truth fir all to see: only the strong can be gentle; and only the great can endure personal hardship and strengthen others.
