I am pleased to let the forum know that Susan Higginbotham's latest novel, The First Lady and the Rebel, about Mary Lincoln and her younger sister Emily Todd Helm, will be out in the fall of 2019! Kudos, Susan!

Susan is one of the best researchers I have ever met and is so in tune with life in the 19th century. That's something that lots of folks have difficulty with - absorbing themselves in the era(s) that they are writing or reading about.
