The Book Woman's Daughter - by Kim Michele Richardson

Honey Lovett's journey is one of self-discovery, resilience, and the power of books to transform lives.

As the daughter of a famed blue-skinned packhorse librarian in Kentucky's rugged mountains, Honey has always known that the old ways can make a hard life harder.

When her parents are imprisoned, she must fight to stay free and prove herself as an independent woman.

Picking up her mother's old packhorse library route, Honey delivers books to remote hollers of Appalachia, facing treacherous terrain and resistance from some folks who don't want a woman paving her own way.

But with the help of extraordinary women who guide her and the books that set her free, Honey learns to fight for her place and bring freedom to those who need it most.

This is a powerful and inspiring story of one young woman's determination to make her own way in a world that often seeks to hold her back.
