I love Katherine Hepburn. Grew up watching her films, and hearing wonderfully audacious quotes that always had an air of independence and empowerment. I expected to love this from the first page, and I did. The overriding thing that I took away was just how wonderful Her family was and how much they played a role in her life. If I ever have children I want to reread this frequently as a parent to remember how a positive parent can spur a child on to great things. The one thing I hoped to get that I did not out of this book is any insider info on her relationship with Spencer Tracy. She does talk fondly of it, and it's certainly not her style to 'dish' so that is forgivable. Well done. Read it!
