Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Leveraging Lincoln
Book Author: Stephenia McGee
What do you like about this book:
"To get your brother back, you need leverage."
Captain Matthew Daniels never imagined that the kind of leverage he was being offered, in order to find his imprisoned brother George, was the kind that could cost him his life and misrepresent him as a traitor to the Confederacy. How could he have gotten himself mixed up in such a scheme? Not only that, a beautiful young woman, a "Miss Smith", has unknowingly gotten herself involved as well, serving as a messenger in a dangerous game of coded missives. The blond spitfire seems to straddling both sides of the same fence, what Daniels wants to know is, just what does she have in mind?
Annabelle Ross is desperate to escape her step-grandfather's nefarious plans for an arranged marriage to his despicable son, ultimately confiscating her inheritance, and ruining Annabelle's chances for the kind of future that her father wanted her to have. Already their once beautiful Mississippi plantation had been mercilessly plundered by Union troops, and more recently served as a makeshift hospital for the wounded on both sides of the nation's bloody civil war. Her only hope arrives in the form of a delivery, hopefully sending her closer to her true uncle who can save her from the clutches of an unwanted suitor. How could she have known the cyclone of events that would ensue or that a face from her past would continually resurface?
"Leveraging Lincoln" is really quite fascinating, as the author skillfully weaves a complicated web of conspiracy in and out of history, with both fictional and actual characters intersecting beautifully in a tale that could easily be believable. What a great story, . . . . which has only just begun.
