Nancy Horan, NYT bestselling author of LOVING FRANK comes to Riverstone with THE HOUSE OF LINCOLN, her first novel in nearly a decade!

The House of Lincoln deftly addresses the roots of racism, colorism, and classism in America culminating in an eye-witness account of the Springfield race riot of 1908. With themes that resonate today, this novel celebrates the bravery of the conductors on the Underground Railroad and is a pointed reminder that hate never really goes away but neither does hope.
