The lonely young Appalachian woman joins the historical Pack Horse Library Project of Kentucky and becomes a librarian, riding across slippery creek beds and up treacherous mountains on her faithful mule to deliver books and other reading material to the impoverished hill people of Eastern Kentucky. Along her dangerous route, Cussy, known to the mountain folk as Bluet, confronts those suspicious of her damselfly-blue skin and the government's new book program. She befriends hardscrabble and complex fellow Kentuckians and is fiercely determined to bring comfort and joy, instill literacy, and give those who have nothing a bookly respite. 538 $a Compact disc, MP3 format. 538 $a System requirements: CD/MP3 player or PC with MP3-capable software. 541 $d 20190613. 650 7 $a Books $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Librarians $x Fiction. 650 $a Appalachians (People.) 651 7 $a Kentucky $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 700 $a Schorr, Katie, $e narrator. 941 $a 4 945 $a cdab 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515010814.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305020428.0 952 $l XHPD657 $d 20201231010643.0 952 $l TZPC572 $d 20201218010301.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB3A0C92C30F11E98FB7931597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
