Well, JoJo Moyes has done it again! The Giver of Stars was a very well-written novel and covered an interesting topic -- The pack horse librarians of Western Kentucky who delivered library books throughout the Appalachian mountains as part of the WPA in the 30's.

Another winner by Moyes. I loved reading about the Pack Horse Librarians. A story of finding your true north and the depth of your inner strength. Home is where we find ourselves building friendships and family.
