And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle by Jon Meacham

5.0

dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective relaxing sad medium-paced

Thought I knew who Lincoln was before reading this book, but I was definitely wrong. Enjoyed and took something away from every chapter. Inspiring to read about someone who overcame so much loss, to lead an entire nation through the despair of Civil War while at the same time setting up the future of that nation for the better by ending slavery. I'd encourage everyone to read this book.
