​​Inspired by the true blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the brave and dedicated Kentucky Pack Horse library service of the 1930s, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a story of raw courage, fierce strength, and one woman’s belief that books can carry us anywhere—even back home. 

“Readers will respond to quiet Cussy's steel spine as she undergoes cruel medical tests to ‘cure’ her blueness, and book groups who like to explore lesser-known aspects of American history will be fascinated.” --Booklist
The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is also an Indie Next Pick (May 2019) and Spring 2019 Okra Pick!

​Kim Michele Richardson was born in Kentucky and resides part-time in Western North Carolina. Her work includes Liar’s Bench, GodPretty in the Tobacco Field and The Sisters of Glass Ferry. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is her fourth novel.
