First ebook of September.
Within the rugged Kentucky mountains and forests of the 1950’s, Honey has all the time identified that being totally different is an issue. Honey is the daughter of the well-known blue-skinned Troublesome Creek packhorse librarian. The genetic drawback inherited from her mom implies that Honey’s arms and ft are blue, particularly when she is burdened and Honey has discovered to cowl them and conceal from the authorities. When her mom and father are imprisoned, Honey aged 16, has to combat to remain free. Fortunately she will get a job carrying on the Packhorse Librarians routes across the distant farmsteads and houses.
The story is certainly one of ladies having to be sturdy whether or not they’re the primary ladies coal miners, the primary ladies firewatchers or a part of the Frontier Nursing group. There are various males who do not agree with these ladies having “their” jobs and they don’t seem to be afraid to attempt something to be rid of them – together with burning them out.
The ebook is a captivating and on the finish there are pictures of the true ladies who did the roles talked about. I liked studying that when the unique Packhorse Librarians of the 1930’s had a scarcity of books to ship they’d take cuttings from newspapers and stick them with photos into scrapbooks so their prospects all the time had one thing to learn.
I did not know the ebook was the second in a sequence – the primary ebook being about Honey’s mom – however it stands alone. I used to be to learn that the ebook is ready studying in some Kentucky faculties – a great way to be taught historical past via fiction primarily based on reality.
