American history buffs, this new book, American Queen by John Oller, happens to be about my great-great-grandmother, Kate Chase! She was the belle of the north and the daughter of Abraham Lincoln’s treasury secretary. Drama, scandal, power, ruin, personal transformation. This biography captures the tumultuous and passionate life of one of the most famous women of the Civil War & Gilded Age. I feel particularly moved that the author wrote “Some of Kate Chase’s indomitable spirit can be seen in her great-great-granddaughter Kris Carr” -- Right on!
