“Rooted in her Appalachian upbringing, sixteen-year-old Honey Lovett's fierce and wilful spirit is nearly crushed when the loving adults in her life are taken from her. I raged at the misogyny, bigotry, racism, and ignorance that worked against her, and celebrated her remarkable resilience as she struggled mightily to maintain her independence. ”
— Belinda • Quail Ridge Books
Revisit the packhorse librarians of Kentucky with this stunning companion to the New York Times bestseller The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.
In the ruggedness of the beautiful Kentucky mountains, Honey Lovett has always known that the old ways can make a hard life harder. As the daughter of the famed blue-skinned, Troublesome Creek packhorse librarian, Honey and her family have been hiding from the law all her life. But when her mother and father are imprisoned, Honey realizes she must fight to stay free, or risk being sent away for good.
Picking up her motherโs old packhorse library route, Honey begins to deliver books to the remote hollers of Appalachia. Honey is looking to prove that she doesnโt need anyone telling her how to survive. But the route can be treacherous, and some folks arenโt as keen to let a woman pave her own way.
If Honey wants to bring the freedom that books provide to the families who need it most, sheโs going to have to fight for her place, and along the way, learn that the extraordinary women who run the hills and hollers can make all the difference in the world.

โA mesmerizing and beautifully rendered Appalachian tale of strong women, bravery, and resilience, told through the eyes of a new heroine reminiscent of Harper Leeโs own Scout Finch.โ
โPaints a stunning portrait of the raw, somber beauty of Appalachia, the strong resolve of remarkable women living in a world dominated by men, and the power of books and sisterhood to prevail in the harshest circumstancesโฆBadassery womanhood at its best!โ
