Virtually nothing is known about Sarah Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's older
sister. This novel will follow the few known facts of the Lincoln
family's early life, starting with the Lincolns' move from Kentucky to
Indiana when Sarah was nine. It will cover their years living in a log
cabin, the death of Sarah and Abe's mother when Sarah was eleven and
Sarah's new responsibilities as woman of the cabin, and will culminate
in the arrival of a stepmother a year later. The details of Sarah's
character will be invented, but this novel will give us real insight
into Abraham Lincoln's childhood, as well as the role of women on the
frontier.
