"Frank Lloyd Wright was a quirky visionary, decades ahead of his time in architectural design, and now we have often-fascinating, candid backstories for his best-known and little-known projects throughout Wisconsin. I appreciate Kristine’s carefully detailed research to get us better acquainted with the iconic architect. She simultaneously nails down what makes Wisconsin an extraordinary destination for exploring Wright’s works."

"This book is a tasty morsel for all those who hunger for Frank Lloyd Wrights architecture. There is a growing appetite among the public to experience Wrights Wisconsin architecture firsthand, and this book will help make that experience a savory and enjoyable adventure."
-Robert Hartmann, past president of Frank Lloyd Wright Wisconsin (Wright in Wisconsin)
"Wisconsin inspired all of Frank Lloyd Wright. It was his playground, his toolkit, his raw material, and his color palette. It is where he first observed Nature shaping and reshaping spaces and decided that he would too. Wisconsin is the origin of Wright’s organic design, so to see and appreciate Wright’s work -- no matter where in the world it is -- is to know his home state. This book will get you started."
- Nicholas Dale Hayes, Author of "Frank Lloyd Wright’s Forgotten House" and steward of Wright’s Elizabeth Murphy House.
