From the best-selling author of The Emperor of Ocean Park and New England White, a daring reimagining of one of the most tumultuous moments in our nations past   Stephen L. Carters thrilling new novel takes as its starting point an alternate history President Abraham Lincoln survives the assassination attempt at Fords Theatre on April 14, 1865. Two years later he is charged with overstepping his constitutional authority, both during and after the Civil War, and faces an impeachment trial . . . Twenty-one-year-old Abigail Canner is a young black woman with a degree from Oberlin, a letter of employment from the law firm that has undertaken Lincolns defense, and the iron-strong conviction, learned from her late mother, that whatever limitations society might place on ordinary negroes, they would never apply to her.
