Most books about Abraham Lincoln are non-fiction. Those that are fiction only explored certain quirks about Lincoln, but none explored in-depth the change of Lincoln's thought patterns as he overcame his melancholy and doubts about his self-worth. My inspiration comes from knowing people who have taken the time to develop lives of significance through strong moral values being expressed to others as they live out their lives. Those on the receiving end are often changed by those people in very positive ways. John Davies becomes one of those mentors in Lincoln's life. Abe's and John's careers take off in different directions and they barely see each other for almost twenty years, but they do correspond, and both John and Abe pour out their hearts to each other. Even though John was not one of Lincoln's closest friends, he was somewhat of a mentor to the penniless, uneducated Lincoln whom he met in 1831. My story continues this respectful relationship to the end of Lincoln's life. Where did the impetus for change in Lincoln come from? My premise is John Davies and his soul-mate, Corinne, were influencers for Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln was a complicated soul. Join this adventure to learn both sides of his personality - his exuberance and as a "man of sorrows". "Praying With Lincoln" is about how John Davies fell in love with Corinne Basset and how they overcame her parent's doubts about Jack and how their love impacted, not only Lincoln, but all who encountered them as they built lives of significance. Their family's struggles were a parallel to the turmoil of post-colonial America. History you may have forgotten will come alive as you follow Lincoln from his humble beginnings to achieving eternal greatness. Meet the characters of New Salem, including Abe's love interest, Ann Rutledge. Be present with John as he mentors Lincoln from his early days as a lawyer and through his political climb to the top. Join this adventure to learn both sides of his personality - his exuberance and as a "man of sorrows". Follow Jack from being an orphan to falling in love with the daughter of a high-society family and how they overcame the trials of the frontier expansion and dealing with the Civil War.
