He was his mirror - a novel based on true events.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Lincoln's personal barber and valet, Johnson did not influence the President by whispering into his ear, he was the living embodiment of the price paid trying to keep the Union together, a daily reminder that half measures were an insult to humanity. Because calculating the cost of peace is impossible, where humans enter the equation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter escaping slavery, twenty-five-year-old William Henry Johnson goes to the nation's capital as Abraham Lincoln's valet, hoping the new president will help him reunite his family. But when Lincoln chooses an expedient peace over freedom, Johnson's hopes and the war for emancipation may be doomed-unless Johnson can turn him from long-held prejudices and convince him to embrace equality. Changing Lincoln's heart and mind comes at a severe price. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmid much controversy over the legacies of historical figures, comes a novel that explores Lincoln's complex and evolving views on slavery, emancipation, abolition, and racial equality. But more than a Lincoln novel, it is the forgotten story of a young man who likely influenced Lincoln more than any celebrated abolitionist when it came to his turn from segregationist to champion of freedom and equality for all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e DL Fowler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0996380531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780996380539\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harbor Hill Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.96d","brand":"DL Fowler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944089583871,"sku":"9780996380539","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e6b8b78b-7108-4e25-a43f-fdb55e0de567.jpg?v=1681501729","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-turn-dl-fowler-9780996380539","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
