Summary
Revisit the packhorse librarians of Kentucky with this stunning companion to the New York Times best seller The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.
In the ruggedness of the beautiful Kentucky mountains, Honey Lovett has always known that the old ways can make a hard life harder. As the daughter of the famed blue-skinned Troublesome Creek packhorse librarian, Honey and her family have been hiding from the law all her life. But when her mother and father are imprisoned, Honey realizes she must fight to stay free, or risk being sent away for good.
Picking up her mother’s old packhorse library route, Honey begins to deliver books to the remote hollers of Appalachia. Honey is looking to prove that she doesn’t need anyone telling her how to survive. But the route can be treacherous, and some folks aren’t as keen to let a woman pave her own way.
If Honey wants to bring the freedom that books provide to the families who need it most, she’s going to have to fight for her place, and along the way, learn that the extraordinary women who run the hills and hollers can make all the difference in the world.

Wonderful
I enjoyed every moment of this fantastic story, brought to life with skilful narration. You can enjoy it as a well executed sequel, or a stand alone novel. Either way it’s too good to miss!

Beautifully written and narrated
I loved getting re-acquainted with Cussy Mary and Junia and getting to know Honey and her new friend Pearl. Ultimately this book is about the power of female friendships, and the important role women played in striving for societal change in 1950s Appalachia. An inspiring story.
