As author Nancy Horan notes, piecing together a picture of Mamah required a great deal of research. Loving Frank is a fictionalized exploration of Mamah (pronounced May-muh, and a nickname given to little girl Martha Borthwick by her grandmother) and Frank's life together, told almost exclusively from Mamah's perspective, although via third person. We were more than merely happy even when momentarily miserable." As Wright wrote in the same letter to THE WEEKLY HOME NEWS newspaper on August 20, 1914, "Mamah and I have had our struggles, our differences, our moments of jealous fear for our ideals of each other - they are not lacking in any close human relationship - but they served only to bind us more closely together. From 1907 through 1914, their affair, highly publicized at times, flourished. Frank Lloyd Wright, the famous architect, wrote those words about Mamah Borthwick Cheney, the woman for whom he'd left his wife, Catherine.
