The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek

Join friends and neighbors at the Halstad Lutheran Church on October 17th at 7PM for a discussion of the novel "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek" by Kim Michele Richardson.

Join us at the Halstad Lutheran Church on October 17th at 7PM to discuss "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek" by Kim Michele Richardson. This historical fiction novel is based on the blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the Pack Horse Library service of the 1930s. 

"Cussy Mary Carter is the last of her kind, her skin the color of a blue damselfly in these dusty hills. But that doesn't mean she's got nothing to offer. As a member of the Pack Horse Library Project, Cussy delivers books to the hill folk of Troublesome, hoping to spread learning in these desperate times. But not everyone is so keen on Cussy's family or the Library Project, and the hardscrabble Kentuckians are quick to blame a Blue for any trouble in their small town. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a story of raw courage, fierce strength, and one woman's determination to bring a little bit of hope to the darkly hollers."
