I work at a library and have always been a fan of books, libraries, and history, but this book introduced me to so many things I did not know. I never knew that librarians delivered books by horse and I was only vaguely aware of the "blue people", something I no doubt learned about in a biology class many years ago. Cussy is an amazing and admirable character in any time period, but particularly so in a time when women were granted so few rights. I loved her dedication and her interactions with the people of the mountains. It's been said that books give us someplace to go when we are stuck where we are and companionship when we have none, and I think this book is just another example of that. No matter what our station in life is, a book is always precious.
