"A novel of classical proportions and virtues...humane and
moving."–The Washington Post Book World
"A
love story on more than one level, and Ms. Willis does
justice to them all. It was only toward the end of the book
that I realized how much tension had been generated, how
engrossed I was in the characters, how much I cared about
their fates."–The New York Times Book
Review
For Jeff Johnston, a young historical
reseacher for a Civil War novelist, reality is redefined on
a bitter cold night near the close of a lingering winter. He
meets Annie, an intense and lovely young woman suffering
from vivid, intense nightmares. Haunted by the dreamer and
her unrelenting dreams, Jeff leads Annie on an emotional
odyssey through the heartland of the Civil War in search of
a cure. On long-silenced battlefields their relationship
blossoms–two obsessed lovers linked by unbreakable chains of
history, torn by a duty that could destroy them both.
Suspenseful, moving, and highly compelling, Lincoln’s
Dreams is a novel of rare imaginative power.
