This is the very first biography of a twentieth century powerhouse couple who, with prescient and persistent methodologies and hearts, gave four decades of legislative service and established much of Illinois' dedicated political tradition. Spanning everything from the awkward dance of prohibition in Evanston to Marguerite Stitt Church's involvement in the creation of the Peace Corps -- with a particular focus on her remarkable legacy as a pioneer for women in government -- this historical nonfiction is both a resource and a gripping delight.

Frank Lloyd Wright's $10,000 Home is a design-focused portrait of that iconic building, featuring rare building illustrations, beautiful maps, and intimate family stories. Extensive photographs offer a distinctive look at the house's history, the families that lived there, and the thoughtful process of its protection and restoration. When Emil and Anna Bach approached Frank Lloyd Wright to design and build their Chicago home in 1915, he quoted a cost of $10,000, or $250,000 in modern purchasing power. Wright is known for his grand, international designs like the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and the Guggenheim in New York. But he also designed beautiful and carefully practical small family homes like the Bach's "little dream house."
