Seattle Public Library (Montlake Branch)

It's 1964 and Abraham Lincoln’s daughter, Sarah, daydreams about meeting her father. Her mother, Joan, met Lincoln nine years earlier when he was transported to Evanston, Illinois, from his own time and place for a day. When Sarah’s stepfather, Will, a Lincoln scholar, doesn’t return home from ... (more)an overnight trip, Sarah and her mother have no way of knowing that he has traveled back in time to 1833 in the same mysterious way Lincoln came forward. The two grow more and more nervous waiting for him to come home. A stranger’s phone call and the discovery of an abandoned truck will push daughter, mother, and their old dog, Rusty, away from home in search of Will. Copies of the book will be available at the branch for purchase after the reading courtesy of The University Book Store.
