4.5 when I first started reading this I thought, wonderful another story about the pack librarians, this set in Kentucky. Wondered how close it would be to the The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek. Except for the job itself and being part of the WPA, not close at all. I was also glad that do many authors are writing about little known history, of strong women who refused to bend and accept only the roles available at that time.

This is the ideal Winter Comfort Read, put the logs on the fire, or wrap up on the couch with a warm blanket and induge yourself in a little comfort reading. Having readThe Book Woman of Troublesome Creek

Loved the historical aspect of the story but wished Moyes focused more on the story and developing the characters rather than bringing a number of other true but extraneous historical issues.
One of my current favorite books! Story about the librarians in the Depression era who rode horses to deliver books to the hill country of Kentucky. Great characters.
Wonderful book. Historical fiction at its best. An interesting story learning about a WPA program to provide rural areas books and strong characters
