From the Back Cover

'Love' has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything. -- Katharine Hepburn

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

Lying on the floor, her head resting on the down pillow she had brought in from her bedroom, Katharine Hepburn pulled the blind back, slid the patio door open a crack, and breathed in the California night air. In the tiny courtyard behind the house she could see the broad leaves of a banana tree casting eerie moonlight shadows....

Stretched out next to her was Lobo, their amiable German shepherd-coyote mix with the floppy left ear and half-missing tail. Kate could hear Spencer Tracy breathing steadily now, deeply. Cautiously raising her head from the floor, she looked over to see Spencer on his bed, the covers pulled up to his neck. His eyes were closed, and the great barrel chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm. Despite the powerful sedative prescribed by his doctor, Spencer could not keep his agile, tortured mind from racing; it had always been so hard for him to surrender to sleep. So there they lay talking night after night - he propped up in the narrow bed positioned just a step or two from the bathroom, she lying on a thick, brightly colored quilt spread out on the hardwood floor.
