ABOUT THE BOOK
Inspired by the true and historical blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the brave and dedicated Kentucky Pack Horse library service, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek showcases a first in traditionally published literary novels— a bold and unique story about the Kentucky Blue people and Packhorse Librarians — a tale of fierce strength and one woman's belief that books can carry us anywhere — even back home.
"...a hauntingly atmospheric love letter to the first mobile library in Kentucky and the fierce, brave Packhorse librarians who wove their way from shack to shack dispensing literacy, hope, and — just as importantly — a compassionate human connection." —Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants
The New York Times and USA Today bestseller!
