Abraham Lincoln: A Novel Life is an inspired piece of Historical Fantasy that brings one of our greatest leaders to life.  Inexplicably sent through time, Lincoln finds himself in Evanston, Illinois, 1955.  There he witnesses the future of the Union and the results of his Legacy.  Briefly relieved of his burdens as president, Lincoln soon is faced with the results of the war and the idealized images that modern society has ascribed to a very human president.  His adventure is highlighted by his meeting with a 1950’s woman whose understanding of his nature proves too intriguing to pass on.  In the end he returns to the Civil War reinvigorated and more resolved than ever to ensure that his vision of the future comes to pass.

Written by Tony Wolk, this novel is the first in his unique Lincoln Trilogy.  In this story Wolk gives us a side to Lincoln that we almost never witness in our idealized perception of the Civil War President.  Though his storytelling, he brings this character to life, and shows us the man behind the legend.  Skillfully blending history with drama and fantasy, Wolk brings us into the mind of a man upon whose shoulders the fate of the world very literally did rest.
