Description
In Depression-era Kentucky, Alice Wright leaves England for what she hopes will be a bold new life, only to find herself constrained by an unhappy marriage and a rigid small-town society. Her outlook changes when she joins Margery O’Hare and a courageous group of women delivering books by horseback through the remote Appalachian mountains. As they face dangerous terrain, prejudice, and opposition from their community, the riders discover friendship, independence, and the transformative power of education. Inspired by the true story of the Pack Horse Librarians, this richly atmospheric historical novel celebrates female solidarity, resilience, and the freedom found in both stories and self-determination.
