The Q&A format is an excellent one for the subject (it is not a biography) and the chapters are divided based on years covered or subject matter so one does not have to read each chapter consecutively, but I did. Mary was a complex and enigmatic person of her times and this clearly comes through. Many of the unflattering adjectives attributed to her prove true, however, Mary was also a very loving, kind, and caring person upon whom history is perhaps too harsh. Other stories of her antics have been debunked. This is a must read for those who want to get to know the real Mary Lincoln.

Dennis, thank you for your kind words about my book. May I use your comments on my Facebook page?
