My Life with the Lincolns

My Life with the Lincolns by Brandeis, Gayle. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780805090130.

My dad used to be Abraham Lincoln. When I was six and learning to read, I saw his initials were A. B. E., Albert Baruch Edelman. ABE. Thats when I knew. Mina Edelman believes that she and her family are the Lincolns reincarnated. Her main task for the next three months: to protect her father from assassination, her mother from insanity, and herself―Willie Lincoln incarnate―from death at age twelve. Apart from that, the summer of 1966 should be like any other. But Minas dad begins taking Mina along to hear speeches by Martin Luther King, Jr in Chicago. And soon he brings the freedom movement to their own small town, with consequences for everyone, in Gayle Brandeiss My Life with the Lincolns.
