The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson
4.0

I found this book to be ver heartfelt and informative for a pocket of history I don’t know much about. The setting was rich and detailed, and I loved reading about it. I enjoyed Richardson’s writing style - beautiful prose, but not so flowery that the meaning is lost. I am very particular about writing style, and this hit the mark for me. 

What kept this from being a 5 star was the last 20% of the book. So much happened in such a short amount of time, and it didn’t match the pacing of the rest of the book. I don’t mind a slow paced book, but when the ending goes so quickly, too much gets lost. However, the main characters were so endearing that I do want to read the sequel.
