Ashley, when you finish reading the book, please let us know your opinions.
Will do.

One of these ladies is Donna McCreary, a member of our forum here. About themselves, the ladies say, "We are good friends who share a common interest – that interest being Mary Lincoln."
Additionally, they say, "Every year in July, we met in Springfield, IL for a few days closest to the anniversary of Mary Lincoln’s death. During these days, we host a wreath laying ceremony at the Lincoln Tomb; participate in performances and lectures at The Lincoln Home; host a Memorial Luncheon; and participate in a variety of other events and programs."
Anyway, there is a review of the book you are going to read if you look near the bottom of the coterie's web page here.
The home page for Mary Lincoln's coterie is here.
No, I hadn't heard about that thank you for the site I'm going to check it out.
