Loving Frank tells the true story of a scandalous affair between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney who both left behind their relative marriages and families and embarked on an affair that riled and fascinated the press of the time. The book explores the reaction of society at the time towards the pair and especially its derision and blame on the female protagonist and traces the story to its ultimately tragic outcome. The cover features Taliesin, the home Lloyd built as a ratreat for himself and his lover where she would meet her end. I also created the title typeface based on the grave of Lloyd Wright.
