President Abraham Lincoln shares about our nation's history and his own personal history by way of some of his favorite stories and jokes. Mr. Lincoln sometimes told these simply to entertain, but more often than not, when he would begin "That reminds me of a little story…", there were other reasons, too. He might wish to illustrate a point, to relieve tension, or to distract from the difficulties and hard realities of life, especially in the midst of the Civil War. As he told his Cabinet, "With the fearful strain that is upon me night and day, if I did not laugh occasionally I should die, and you need this medicine as much as I do".
Mr. Lincoln's stories and jokes speak to those common and everyday human experiences to which his audience can readily relate. They will make you laugh, but many will also cause you to reflect on life, people, and the world we live in.

Boyd falls for Maggie, the outsider the town refuses to accept. When a confrontation turns deadly, Boyd hides what happened in the fast-moving Black River, believing the current will erase the evidence and the guilt. It does not. As winter deepens and the river swells, suspicion rises. Old prejudices sharpen into threats. Boyd and Maggie are pushed beyond town lines, into the remote wilderness of the Upper Peninsula and Canada, trying to outrun a secret that keeps resurfacing and a river that refuses to keep quiet.
Black River blends rural noir tension with the momentum of a border-crossing flight, unfolding as a propulsive coming-of-age crime story about legacy, loyalty, and the dangerous myth that silence protects the ones we love.
