Former journalist Nancy Horan writes ambitious fictionalizations of people known only from the pages of history. In her first novel, Loving Frank, she draws Frank Lloyd Wright and his mistress Mamah Borthwick Cheney forth from time’s hazy confines, telling the story of their long-lived but ultimately tragic affair. From the little-known Borthwick she created an “enigmatic Everywoman—a symbol of both the freedoms women yearn to have and of the consequences that may await when they try to take them” (The New York Times Book Review).  Horan’s new novel similarly delves into “the opportunities and repercussions of individuals living outside of society's mores” (Bookmarks Magazine) as it explores the real-life relationship between famed Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson and a free-spirited American woman who left her husband and set sail for Belgium.
