This book carries on the legacy of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek with the story of Honey. She follows in her mother’s footsteps as a pack horse librarian who spreads literacy to the hills of Kentucky. While dealing with the repercussions of the racist laws of 1950’s rural Kentucky, she is forced to take care of herself and fight for her freedom as a bright and responsible you g woman. She also faces the violence of sexism with some of the local men and her and her sisterhood of strong women fight back against the hatred. I loved this book. I love the message of spreading knowledge to end the cycle of poverty, hate and ignorance.
