My Life With the Lincolns by Gayle Brandeis

246 pages
3 hours 10 minutes

This book is certainly an interesting twist on the coming of age story.  It was very realistic how confused people can act when trying to stand up for social justice for the first time.  The scene where Mina's father fires their maid is stuck in my mind -- he cut off the maid's source of income as an attempt to set her free.  I felt sorry for the maid who had to figure out how to get another job.
