This was a really fascinating story! Even though it is historical fiction, I learned a lot that I had never known, like the blue people of Kentucky. This book had me going and looking up more information about them as I read the book and afterwords. I really liked traveling along with Cussy as she rode Junia, as a Book Woman of the Pack Horse Library. Reading it in the modern times, it was hard to get through the prejudice that some of the characters had for Cussy, and other people of color, be they blue or another shade. Cussy is a wonderfully strong woman during all the trials she had in her life and she showed great kindness through them all too. This is a great book to read and a good jumping off point to get to reading more about the blue people and the awesome Pack Horse Library and Book Women and Men.
