An Unlikely Friendship: A Novel of Mary Todd Lincoln and Elizabeth Keckley3 reviews Ann Rinaldi Harcourt, 2007 Mrs. Lincoln and her dressmaker + Pranaya's Review + Women's history brought to life I really enjoyed this book. It had an engaging storyline and even though the facts about the story have been told before, the dialog and details are so nicely done that the story is beathed new life.
