Before reading this book, I was not familiar with the Kentucky packhorse librarians. I enjoyed learning more about this part of history, as well as the friendships that formed between the librarians despite their quite different backgrounds. Since the book's publication, there have been accusations that it bears too many similarities to "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek" by Kim Michele Richardson, though the publisher stands by the work. Readers are encouraged to read both novels.
