Description

Cal isn’t the readin’ type. Living way high up within the Appalachian Mountains, he’d reasonably lend a hand Pap plow or go out after wandering sheep than try some book learning. Nope. Cal does not want to take a seat stoney-still reading some chicken scratch. But that Book Woman helps to keep coming just the similar. She comes within the rain. She comes within the snow. She comes right up the side of the mountain, and Cal knows that is not easy riding. And all just to lend his sister some books. Why, that woman should be plain foolish — or is she braver than he ever thought?

That Book Woman is a rare and moving tale that honors a special a part of American history — the Pack Horse Librarians, who helped untold numbers of children see the stories amid the chicken scratch, and thus made them into lifetime readers.
