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"--|cProvided by publisher 520 1936. Tucked deep into the woods of Troublesome Creek, KY, lives blue-skinned Cussy Carter, the last living female of the rare Blue People ancestry. She joins Roosevelt's Pack Horse Library Project of Kentucky and becomes a traveling librarian, riding across slippery creek beds and up treacherous mountains on her mule to deliver books and other reading material to the impoverished hill people of Eastern Kentucky. Along her route, Cussy faces doubters at every turn, but is determined to bring the joy of books to the hardscrabble Kentuckians. -- adapted from back cover 648 7 1930-talet|2sao 650 7 Bibliotek|2sao 650 7 Bibliotekarier|2sao 650 7 Ryttare|2sao 650 7 Hästar|2sao 650 7 Böcker|2sao 650 7 Uppsökande verksamhet (bibliotek)|2sao 651 7 Förenta staterna|zKentucky|2sao 655 7 Historiska skildringar|2saogf 655 7 Romaner|2saogf
