His brief sojourn to the Illinois of 1955 ended, he is returned to his own time and place, leaving Joan to deal with the consequences of their night together.

Second Novel in Lincoln Time Travel Trilogy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is the sequel to Abraham Lincoln: A Novel Life, in which Lincoln goes forward in time ninety years, to Illinois in 1955. He meets Joan Matcham and spends one day with her before he vanishes again, back to his own time. In Good Friday, we return to Joan Matcham and learn how Lincoln was able to send her a letter and how his visit has changed her life. Because of her connection to him, she is able to flit back and forth between her era and his. This is a magical and haunting page-turner in which the veil between two eras thins.
Great Sequel

Anyone who loved Lincoln, A Novel Life, as much as I did will enjoy this as well. You've got to suspend some disbelief, but it's a lot of fun to think about. I'd recommend the two books to anyone who likes time travel type books. It's always interesting to think about time in a non-linear way - these two books' variation puts a different spin on it. An easy, enjoyable read.
