American Queen
Had People magazine been around during the Civil War and after, Kate Chase would have made its “Most Beautiful” and “Most Intriguing” lists every year. Kate Chase, the charismatic daughter of Abraham Lincoln's treasury secretary, enjoyed unprecedented political power for a woman. As her widowed father's hostess, she set up a rival “court” against Mary Lincoln in hopes of making her father president and herself his First Lady. To facilitate that goal, she married one of the richest men in the country, the handsome “boy governor” of Rhode Island, in the social event of the Civil War. But when William Sprague turned out to be less of a prince as a husband, she found comfort in t...

A Story of Kate Chase's Family
Katherine Chase Sprague. In American political history there has never been a woman who had been more active in the formative years of this republic than Katherine Chase Sprague. Her family, her love of her father, and the political skills that her father had taught her indirectly affected everyone who ever came in contact with her. She didn’t come from a rich family, but she rapidly acquired the finest tastes that her newly acquired husband could afford. Katherine ran the complete race; she went from being a millionaire to dying in complete poverty. The story of her life truly contains the material that would be necessary for the making of a great movie.
"Spur Up Your Pegasus"

So Fell the Angels
This is the biography of three of the most fascinating personalities of Civil War America. They were Salmon P. Chase, Lincoln’s Secretary of the Treasury and later Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, a man obsessed with the ambition to become President; Chase’s daughter Kate, who was Washington’s reigning beauty and America’s most influential political hostess; and Kate’s husband William Sprague, the young millionaire Senator from Rhode Island. Chase was a man of talent, even of potential greatness. This classic figure of a statesman had fought his way up through the jungle of mid-nineteenth-century American politics to a place of leadership. He was among the most powerful spokesmen of the uncompromising Radical wing of the Republican Party. Chase was bitterly disappointed when the Republican convention of 1860 passed him by, deciding in favor of a compromise candidate, Abraham Lincoln. He was determined that 1864 would not see him unsuccessful again. With his portrait engraved on the nation’s greenbacks, his name and face were continuously before the country.
Twisted
Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is hard. In this heart-pounding follow-up to Tangled by New York Times bestseller Emma Chase, Kate reveals that there is trouble in paradise, when unexpected circumstances force her and Drew to "renegotiate" their relationship. There are two kinds of people in this world: the ones who look first, and the ones who leap. I’ve always been more of a looker. A planner. Cautious. Then I met Drew Evans. He was so persistent. So sure of himself. He made it easy to leap with him. Did you think Drew and I were going to ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after? So did I. But life is about choices, and Drew already made his. In fact, he tried to decide for the both of us—but you know that’s not my style. So I came back to Greenville, to spend some time alone...sort of. Because old habits die hard, and sometimes you have to go back to where you began before you can move ahead again.
