Very-nice copy - NO remainder marks or price clippings - NO tears - Tight spine - Bright pages - 389 pages - Illustrated with photos.

The eccentric and worthwhile lives of Katherine Hepburn's parents and ancestors are covered in greater detail in this book than the life of the young star. Katherine's mother, Kit Houghton, was a cofounder of both Planned Parenthood and the League of Women Voters. Her father, Dr. Thomas Hepburn, was a pioneer in venereal disease prevention. When readers finally meet young Kate halfway through the book, she is a tomboy, as feisty as her suffragette mother. Her older brother's suicide and the agonies of her first college year are experiences about which young adults will read with empathy. As the book closes, Kate heads to Baltimore for her first professional acting role, and readers have gained a good sense of the forces that shaped her future.Keddy Outlaw, Harris County Public Library, Houston

220 x 140 mm Antal sidor: 370. Att får vara med mamman i hennes himmelssäng och mumsa på godsaker och bläddra i glansiga veckotidningar är det bästa nioåriga Anna vet. Men det händer inte så ofta. I mammans värld finns just ingen plats för Anna, och någon kärlek till dottern tycks hon oförmögen att ge. Den vackra och nyckfulla Melissa, som varit dansös, drömmer sig bort från sitt trista äktenskap med en fantasilös man, vars honnörsord är ordning och renlighet, och fantiserar om ett liv i skönhet och rikedom. En dag är mamman försvunnen. Hon har tagit in på hotell tillsammans med en älskare och har inte för avsikt att återvända. Anna använder all sin uppfinningsrikedom för att leta rätt på henne. Hennes livs enda mål är att få vara nära sin mamma, att vinna hennes kärlek.
