The bestselling historical fiction novel from Kim Michele Richardson, this is a novel following Cussy Mary, a packhorse librarian and her quest to bring books to the Appalachian community she loves, perfect for readers of William Kent Kreuger and Lisa Wingate. The perfect addition to your next book club!

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

Cussy's not only a book woman, however, she's also the last of her kind, her skin a shade of blue unlike most anyone else. Not everyone is keen on Cussy's 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, she's 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 woman's belief that books can carry us anywhere—even back home.

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek. A truly touching story about early traveling librarians in the Kentucky hills. It was interesting to read about the genetic disorder, that left some males and females with blue skin. It was heartbreaking to read about children & adults suffering from such extreme poverty as well as the racial stereotyping that existed. A wonderful story that will remain with you.

Loved it and the history. I love readying historic fiction and learning new things. I loved learning about the Kentucky Fugates.

Beautiful. Beautiful writing, painful story. Could not put it down.

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek. Touching historical story, one of the best stories I have read in a long time.

The book women of troublesome creek. Wow! Loved this book!

Great read!. I was captivated by the story and the characters…couldn’t put it down.

What a enjoyable history lesson in a thoroughly enjoyable book. This book caught me up in its story and I’ve finished it in a day. Maybe you’ll learn something of our history and pass it on.

A history lesson that is still relevant today. A very easy read that is rich in Kentucky history. It also demonstrates the strength and generosity of women. A more sobering lesson is the treatment of others, the ones who are different from us.

Fascinating Book. This historical novel will teach you about how the blue face people in the rural Kentucky homes were mistreated and ostracized. The racial stereotyping and poverty of these people with a life-threatening disease will urge you to learn more about this phenomenon. Roosevelt’s New Deal Acts gave birth to the Pack Horse librarians who delivered books to homes where there was no other means of getting reading material. This is a fantastic story that is a must read!
