The Perfect Protagonist for Book Advocates

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is inspired by the historical blue people of Kentucky and the fierce and brave Kentucky Packhorse librarians. 19 year-old Cussy Mary Carter dubbed Bluet is a fervent servant to her community, passionate about getting literature into the hands of those around her. Her patron loyalty often puts her at risk, but that doesn't stop her. Journeying though self-acceptance but also desiring to be a catalyst for healing, Cussy is the perfect protagonist for those of us who embrace the need for books, the healing they can bring and the future they can provide. There are a few trigger warnings: racial profiling, animal abuse, rape and more. But don't let that stop you from the beauty this book offers in return.
