Perry Fox's Debut Novel Lincoln's Double Explores Identity and Humanity

Perry Fox explores the profound question of what happens when you are forced to become the very thing you were sworn to destroy in his moving debut novel, Lincoln's Double: Friend or Foe. The story follows Frank Fox, a simple, God-fearing farmer from Florida who joins the Confederate army to defend his home. When tasked with the ultimate deception—impersonating President Abraham Lincoln—Frank embarks on a path that strips him of his old identity and forces him to build a new one. Disguised as his sworn enemy, Frank gains a unique perspective on the man behind the myth, finding not a tyrant but a weary, compassionate leader.

As Frank slips into Lincoln's shoes at public events, the line between performance and reality blurs. He begins to understand the immense burden of the presidency, the fragility of the Union, and the profound faith that guides his look-alike. This journey of identity forces Frank to confront his own loyalties, his beliefs about the war, and his relationship with God. When tragedy strikes, Frank is left questioning his very purpose: if he could not save the man he came to love, what was the meaning of his path? Lincoln's Double is a powerful character study that goes beyond the battlefield to explore the quiet, internal war within one man's soul—a story of second chances, unlikely friendships, and the redemptive power of seeing the humanity in your enemy.
