The Book Woman's Daughter by Kim Michele Richardson

 Honey Lovett is the daughter of the blue skinned pack horse librarian we met in The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.  It is the 1950's in these hollers of Kentucky but not much has changed from the poverty, lack of education and prejudice that Honey's mother so bravely overcame. Now it is Honey's turn. Even though some real libraries have been established in the small towns, they are still not accessible to the people in the hills. Although only 17, circumstances make it necessary for Holly to take up her mother's old route. It turns out that she has much more to contribute to the people on her route than books.  This is feel good historical fiction.
