I am caught up in Lincoln’s Melancholy, which hit the shelves last year.

Joshua Wolf Shenk spent seven years researching this glimpse into Lincoln’s lifelong struggle with the Black Hole of depression. The result of Shenk’s toil is engrossing.

Shenk has allowed me to step inside Lincoln’s tortured mind and eavesdrop on his most private thoughts.

For those of us who have walked Lincoln’s path of pain, his story is a light in the darkness.

Keep walking towards the light.
