Description/Summary

Summary:

Alone in the Executive Office, President Abraham Lincoln is struggling with signing the Emancipation Proclamation when he is mysteriously visited by Uncle Tom, the fictional character in Harriet Beecher Stowe's abolitionist novel Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly. These two iconic characters from life and literature--one real, the other fiction--attempt to understand each other across a chasm of race in the midst of the Civil War. Throughout one late night and into the dawning day, they find themselves crossing over into each other's world in a tale of suffering, self-discovery, and redemption.
