What happens to them-and to the men they love-becomes an unforgettable drama of loyalty, justice, humanity, and passion. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky. The leader, and soon Alice's greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient woman who's never asked a man's permission for anything. So when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. “A great narrative about personal strength and really captures how books bring communities together.” -Reese Witherspoonįrom the author of the forthcoming Someone Else’s Shoes, a breathtaking story of five extraordinary women and their remarkable journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond in Depression-era AmericaĪlice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve, hoping to escape her stifling life in England. ![]() #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK ![]()
