"There's as much, if not more, fascination with First Ladies than with their presidential spouses, and Feather Schwartz Foster has done a great job of telling their stories in "Mary Lincoln's Flannel Pajamas." Feather has found some lesser-told stories, and tells them in a highly readable and entertaining way. This is a very enjoyable book and it makes me eager for her next book as well. Congratulations to Feather! " 
-Paul Brandus, White House correspondent for West Wing Reports and author of "Under This Roof: The Presidency and the White House."

Creating Your Story Title by Mary Deal

Something writers of multiple stories will experience: Titles may come to you in a flash. Some will take a bit of thinking through. Say you’ve written your first and only story thus far. You may feel you have a great title for that one piece of prose. However, caution should be taken due to lack of experience in titles. You can only know how easy or how difficult choosing a title will be after you’ve written a few stories.

So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript.
