At Home with Mr. Lincoln - Paperback

by Katelynn MacKenzie Webb (Author)

Tess is happy. She loves living in Springfield, Illinois with Abraham Lincoln and his family. Orphaned at a young age, Tess doesn't remember much about her parents besides a few photographs. But she does remember how Mr. Lincoln was kind enough to take her in. And now Tess can't imagine living anywhere else. But this happiness is tested when a court notice arrives from previously unknown relatives of Tess's, who want her to live with them. Will Tess be taken away from the Lincolns forever?

Meanwhile, the National Republican Convention nominates Mr. Lincoln to run for President in 1860. But tensions are great between North and South. The Southern States promote slavery, while Mr. Lincoln and the North argue against it. If he is elected, the Southern States are threatening to secede! Will Mr. Lincoln, an unknown country lawyer, be able to win the election? And if so, will he be able to keep the Union together, even under the threat of war?

In At Home with Mr. Lincoln, Katelynn Webb takes you on a journey through the eyes of Abraham Lincoln's adopted daughter. Follow Tess as she discovers fear and courage, love and hate, and much more when you read At Home with Mr. Lincoln!
