The story is a little overblown, but an engaging first work of historical fiction by the author and offers interesting insights into Lloyd-Wright's life. Makes me want to read "The Women" by T.C.

I have more pictures, but I'm I little too tired to do a good job of getting them web-ready. Why should I be tired so early? It's not just from 2 ...
