1930s Kentucky: Cussy Mary Carter is a packhorse librarian who brings books to the people of Troublesome Creek. She is also part of a family who has a unique shade of blue skin– a trait that causes suspicion and distrust within her own community. This historical fiction novel is as fascinating as it is educational and honors those both from our past and current day who have worked hard to ensure education is available to all.
