Are you an Abe Aficionado?
A Civil War Buff?
An Overall American History Ace?
Or just some who really, really likes vampires?
Whichever you might count yourself as, and however horrified you may be that this book exists and the unholy union it represents, it is most definitely worth reading. A genuinely good story wrapped around factual history, and tastefully littered with American icons, this telling of the Great Emancipator’s life and the driving forces behind him might actually pique your interest in subjects you once found dull (Civil War history), too grisly (Slavery), or embarrassing (you know, that long-running infatuation you have with Vampires). Don’t disservice yourself by passing this one by.

Suzy and Nancy Goodman were more than sisters; they were best friends, confidantes, and partners in the grand adventure of life. When Suzy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1977, it was still shrouded in stigma and shame. With Nancy at her side, Suzy endured the many indignities of cancer treatment, from the grim, soul-killing waiting rooms to the mistakes of well-meaning but misinformed doctors. In one of the sisters' last conversations, Suzy begged Nancy, “Promise me, Nanny,” she said. “Promise me you won't let it go on like this.” With that promise, 200 dollars, a shoebox filled with names, and her husband Norman, Nancy formed the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. Promise Me is an emotional memoir about a sister's love, the battle with cancer, and a beautiful love story and marriage.
