"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 mother's old packhorse library route, Honey begins to deliver books to the remote hollers of Appalachia. But the route can be treacherous. Honey is 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." -- Back cover.
