You may have read The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, about packhorse librarians in Appalachia during the 1930s. But even if you haven't, you'll want to read this sequel, which is also a stand-alone novel, about Cussy Mary Lovett's daughter, Honey Mary-Angeline. When sixteen-year old Honey is left on her own, she must flee the law to maintain her freedom. But a life in hiding doesn't suit her, so she learns to fight for her freedom. Along the way she takes up her mother's routes to distribute books to remote areas in the hills and meets independent women who offer support and friendship. And readers learn about how much—and how little—life has changed in the hollers, what a difference one woman can make, and how traditions can be both confining and enriching. Historically accurate, heartwarming, and filled with strong women, this is a novel that book lovers will adore.
