Mrs. Lincoln’s Rival – Free Full Audiobook
Mrs. Lincoln’s Rival is a literary fiction book by author Jennifer Chiaverini.
Kate Chase Sprague was born in 1840 in Cincinnati, Ohio, the second daughter of the second wife of a devout but ambitious lawyer. Her father, Salmon P. Chase, had become famous in the years before the war. He was appointed treasurer in the cabinet of Abraham Lincoln, and aspired to even greater heights.
Beautiful, smart, regal and attractive, young Kate Chase stepped into the role of establishing her three-time widowed father in Washington society and as a future presidential candidate. Her endeavor was so successful that The Washington Star declared her “the greatest woman of her time. No one has surpassed her.”
Although Mrs. Lincoln and her young rival had much in common – political acumen, love of country and uncompromising determination to help the men they loved achieve greatness. But they can never be friends, for one’s success can only come at the expense of the rest. Kate Chase married William Sprague, the wealthy young governor of Rhode Island, it is considered by many to be the pinnacle of Washington social weddings. President Lincoln attended. The First Lady did not.
Jennifer Chiaverini excels at documenting the lives of extraordinary but little-known women through historical fiction. She worked for Elizabeth Keckley in Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker and for Elizabeth Van Lew in The Spymistress, she did for Kate Chase Sprague in Mrs. Lincoln’s Rival.
