Love on the Mall: A Tale of National Mall

Meet Estela the anthropologist, a flirty young woman moving into the Roaring 20's, and Nikos, an architect, vulnerable and struggling to put the Great War and Spanish flu behind him. Soulmates, perhaps? Yet for twenty years their romance never leaves the National Mall. What keeps them apart lies within. Enter their time/space bubble where they negotiate tipping points and choose to change – or not. Only time will tell if a real place exists for them to be together. "Love on the Mall weaves romance into twenty years of the history of the National Mall, from the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in 1922 to that of the Jefferson Memorial. The lovers' episodic encounters form a double helix encircling construction of the monumental core of the Mall. Its history is their stage." Lee Ann Cafferata, Historian, MallHistory.org "A truly enjoyable read where a flirtatious decision by Estela or a noble one by Nikos builds unforeseen futures, with love always bringing our characters back to their true selves." Catherine Bradshaw, Cadence Consulting "Enjoyable history for a newcomer to DC with a believable protagonist struggling with issues of career and family we still face a hundred years later."
