Mary Todd Lincoln and the Illuminati

About the Book

Was the President’s wife a confederate spy? In researching her life, I found existing throughout her recorded history, a blurred line between fact and fancy. I discovered women swept up by the winds of change and consumed by the fires of her dementia. Knowingly, Mary Todd Lincoln was our Nation’s most controversial First Lady. This fiction speculates on how Mary may have been a loose cannon during our Country’s most lethal years. And how she may have been involved with the Illuminati. A cult sworn to create a new world order.
