Katharine Hepburn is not only one of Hollywood's greatest actresses, she is also considered to be a prototype feminist. So what drove Katharine Hepburn? Why was she so loved? How could such a fiercely independent woman have given up her life to one man, Spencer Tracy, to the extent of curling up in a hotel corridor while he drank himself unconscious behind a locked door? And what was the family tragedy that affected her life for over seventy years? This is a love story, though not one you'd expect. It is also a family story that brings alive three generations of fearless women. Reading it, you'll know Katharine Hepburn as intimately as a close friend.
