Inspired by the true blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the brave and dedicated Kentucky Pack Horse library service of the 1930s, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a story of raw courage, fierce strength, and one woman's belief that books can carry us anywhere-even back home. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek: A Novel Paperback by Kim Michele Richardson (Author) 48,899 ratings Book 1 of 2: Book Woman of Troublesome Creek Goodreads Choice Award nominee See all formats and editions Kindle 2.24 Read with Our Free App Audiobook 0. If Cussy wants to bring the joy of books to the hill folks, she's going to have to confront prejudice as old as the Appalachias and suspicion as deep as the holler. Not everyone is keen on Cussy's family or the Library Project, and a Blue is often blamed for any whiff of trouble. Thanks to Roosevelt's Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project, Troublesome's got its very own traveling librarian, Cussy Mary Carter.Ĭussy's not only a book woman, however, she's also the last of her kind, her skin a shade of blue unlike most anyone else.
The hardscrabble folks of Troublesome Creek have to scrap for everything-everything except books, that is.
The perfect addition to your next book club! I am hoping for a sequel to this book to see how Jackson, Bluet and Honey's lives continued on. The other one is fluffy, which is fine if you like that sort more. The bestselling historical fiction novel from Kim Michele Richardson, this is a novel following Cussy Mary, a packhorse librarian and her quest to bring books to the Appalachian community she loves, perfect for readers of William Kent Kreuger and Lisa Wingate. Norma Book Woman is a far better piece of writing and has the added aspect of the blue people.
