The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek
Cussy Mary Carter, a young woman with blue skin, defies expectations in 1930s Kentucky. As a packhorse librarian, she brings books to isolated mountain folk, facing prejudice and danger. Her rare genetic condition makes her an outcast, but her determination to spread knowledge and hope never wavers. Through Cussy’s eyes, we experience the hardships of Appalachia during the Great Depression, and witness the transformative power of literacy. A poignant tale of resilience, love, and the enduring human spirit.
