内容简介

Ivy Breedlove s family is driving her crazy. Generations of Breedloves have been prominent lawyers and her relatives expect her to follow suit. "We ll make her a lawyer yet!" they pronounce at a family reunion. Well， not if Ivy has her say. But how do you have your say when the voices surrounding you are so loud? Ivy s passion for the past provides an answer. As she works on completing a history of her illustrious family， she discovers other Breedlove women who broke the mold， including her father s sister Josephine. No one will talk about the reclusive Aunt Jo， so when Ivy hires a wilderness guide to find her， her family is less than thrilled. Armed with her thirst for knowledge， Ivy undertakes a dramatic journey up an icy mountain and into the backwater to try to find someone， perhaps， like herself.
