Reviews
'An Unlikely Friendship - A Novel of Mary Todd Lincoln and Elizabeth Keckley' "The assumption from the title is that these two
women were friends from their youth, but they came from two different workds and never met until adulthood. Each story is fascinating and filled with
remarkable gems of historical memorabilia to creat a very satisfiying read."

'Nine Days a Queen: The Short Life and Reign of Lady Jane Grey' "What makes this story powerful is Jane's enduring hope and resilience. Rinaldi gives Jane a strong teenage voice though the diary format"

'Brooklyn Rose' "Written in journal form, Rose's story moves from a hesitant, childish tone to reflect the thoughts and feelings of a young woman just learning to become perceptive and introspective."

'Girl in Blue' "Based on research into the lives of Sarah Emma Edmonds, rose Greenhow, and Allan Pinkerton, this first person novel will engage readers through its sympathetic main character and exciting action."
