This month we will discuss The Book Wo man of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Ricardson. Cussy Mary Carter is the last of her kind\, her skin the color of a blue damselfly in Kentuc ky's dusty hills. But that doesn't mean she's got nothing to offer. As a m ember of the Pack Horse Library Project\, Cussy delivers books to the hill folk of Troublesome\, hoping to spread learning in desperate times. But n ot 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 thei r small town. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a story of r aw courage\, fierce strength\, and one woman's determination to bring a li ttle bit of hope to the dark hollers.
\nSponsored by the Humanities Kansas\, Talk About Literature in Kansas (TALK) are discussions of great b ooks with skilled facilitators and an open-minded\, thoughtful group of re aders. TALK books are available at the library's customer service desk.
