But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt's new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically. The leader, and soon Alice's greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient woman who's never asked a man's permission for anything. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Horseback Librarians of Kentucky. What happens to them--and to the men they love--becomes a classic drama of loyalty, justice, humanity and passion. Though they face all kinds of dangers, they're committed to their job--bringing books to people who have never had any, sharing the gift of learning that will change their lives. Based on a true story rooted in America's past, The Giver of Stars is unparalleled in its scope. At times funny, at others heartbreaking, this is a richly rewarding novel of women's friendship, of true love, and of what happens when we reach beyond our grasp for the great beyond"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20190101. 650 $a Love stories. 941 $a 7 952 $l BKPC251 $d 20240202132202.0 952 $l HMPB845 $d 20230519011834.0 952 $l XFPB697 $d 20201105010704.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20200422010110.0 952 $l SRPA104 $d 20200123011156.0 952 $l CHPB482 $d 20191212010152.0 952 $l ZAPB232 $d 20191015013638.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=50F1AD6AEF1111E98C638A2097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
