The hardscrabble folks of Troublesome Creek have to scrap for everything?everything except books, that is. Thanks to Roosevelts Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project, Troublesomes got its very own traveling librarian, Cussy Mary Carter.

Cussys not only a book woman, however; shes also the last of her kind, her skin a shade of blue unlike most anyone else. Not everyone is keen on Cussys family or the Library Project, and a Blue is often blamed for any whiff of trouble. If Cussy wants to bring the joy of books to the hill folks, shes going to have to confront prejudice as old as the Appalachias and suspicion as deep as the holler.

Inspired by the true blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the brave and dedicated Kentucky Pack Horse library service of the 1930s, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a story of raw courage, fierce strength, and one womans belief that books can carry us anywhere?even back home.
