The presidential couple was devastated when eleven-year-old Willie died in the White House of typhoid fever. Robert Lincoln's success at Harvard made his parents proud, but his relationship with them was troubled and would eventually result in his permanent, painful estrangement. The Lincolns' youngest son Tad, though physically impaired, remained the couple's joy; but the president's assassination coupled with Tad's early death all but destroyed Mary's fragile spirit. Mary finally retreated into deep seclusion, falling further into madness until her own death in 1882. \u003ci\u003eThe Lincolns in the White House\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving and poignant portrait of the family life of America's greatest president.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJerrold Packard\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the best-selling \u003ci\u003eVictoria's Daughters\u003c\/i\u003e, and most recently \u003ci\u003eAmerican Nightmare\u003c\/i\u003e.
