"Benefits Forgot: A Story of Lincoln and Mother Love" by Honoré Morrow is a story that's particularly fascinating for people who are interested in history. Lincoln is considered by many to be one of the greatest presidents the Unites States has ever had, and this book takes a different look at this historic and nearly reverent figure.

"Every mother at home and every son in the service can enjoy this new Lincoln story. True in fact, and eternally true in application, it tells of a young army surgeon in the Civil War, who repaid with neglect his mother's patient devotion. His thoughtlessness was rebuked by the personal intervention of the stern but tender-hearted President, to whom the love of a self-sacrificing mother was the most sacred and precious thing in life. And in the mingled rush of emotions that followed, the song the meaning of gratitude."--Preface.
