5.0 out of 5 stars"

Too often in life, we overlook the simple people who come into our lives to make things better. Those who care for us and help us along what may sometimes be a difficult path. We tend to focus on the newsmakers, the big names that make history. Like Lincoln, the President of the United States and a man of great influence. DL Fowler’s historical novel, Lincoln’s Angel: The Rebecca Pomroy Story, unravels a forgotten piece of history. Told in the third person narrative, the plot follows Rebecca as she grows up, matures, takes on caring roles, and finally meets the presidential couple. The author has used many historical documents, including Rebecca’s daily journal and letters. The author writes with vivid sincerity, creating a meaningful tableau of real-life events that weave both fact and fiction into a compelling story. A fascinating read, one that inspires triumph over tragedy."

Fowler creates a compelling saga … outstanding not just for its compelling portraits, but for its solid roots in real research and its gift for exposing and returning to historical circles the lesser-known experiences of Lincoln’s life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving account of a brave woman

A moving account of the courageous Rebecca Pomroy, who underwent tragedy after tragedy, but remained resilient and found her calling ministering to wounded soldiers--and a despairing President--during the Civil War. The interactions between Pomroy and Lincoln are particularly well done.
