Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England. 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 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 650 0 $a Traveling libraries $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women librarians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Kentucky $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Playaway (Preloaded audio player) 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Whelan, Julia, $d 1984- $e narrator. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio. 710 2 $a Findaway World, LLC. 941 $a 4 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012946.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724010819.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110083226.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20191224011037.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=60A35042261B11EAB196236797128E48 994 $a C0 $b JUHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
