Bestselling historical fiction author Kim Michele Richardson is back with the perfect book club read following Honey Lovett, the daughter of the beloved Troublesome book woman, who must fight for her own independence with the help of the women who guide her and the books that set her free. In the ruggedness of the beautiful Kentucky mountains, 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.

This is a period of history in which I was not familiar. An excellent writer puts you there and makes you feel part of the story. I have read all her books now and want more. Well done! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Compelling story! *by J***S on April 1, 2024* I had read The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and found it to be super compelling, so I wanted to read about her daughter. The daughter, Honey, isn't a full blue like her mother. Blues were people with a skin condition with no cure which made them look blue. Honey's hands and feet betrayed her Blue heritage. These stories are set in Kentucky at a time period when women had no rights, and certainly not Blues. Honey is devastated as the book opens when both of her parents are arrested and imprisoned for marrying. It was forbidden for a white man to marry a Blue and they'd managed to stay hidden after his release from prison the first time. But the law caught up with them and the brutality shown to the loving couple is incomprehensible. That left Honey on her own at the age of 16, which by Kentucky law, meant she was subject to being imprisoned in a work prison until she turned 21. The entire story is built around her trying to gain and keep her freedom. I cheered for her when the landed a job as a pack horse librarian, as her mother had been. Now, she has income and a chance at freedom, if only she can stay out of the crosshairs. I admired her courage and tenacity. She was wise beyond her young years. Two other characters stand out in the story to me. The first being Junia, a stubborn mule that is fiercely protective of Honey, as she had been of Honey's mother. The second character was another independent woman, age 19, who was manning the fire lookout for the forestry service. Pearl turned out to be not only a loyal friend, but the two girls grew as close as sisters. While this book didn't grab me like the first one, it is still a most compelling read. It's horrible what women were subjected to during that time. I'm so glad things have changed. If you like a story that will consume you, I highly recommend either of these books. The historical accuracy is amazing. It's obvious the author did a tremendous amount of research, as she confirms in her closing statements.
