THERESE ANNE FOWLER is the New York Times bestselling author of It All Comes Down To This (2022), A Good Neighborhood (2020), A Well-Behaved Woman (2018), and Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald (2013). Raised in the Midwest, she migrated to North Carolina in 1995. She holds a B.A. in sociology/cultural anthropology and an MFA in creative writing from North Carolina State University.

“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.”
