Uncovering Unknown History (The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek - Kim Michele Richardson)
Historical fiction tends to cover the same time periods and stories, but Kim Michele Richardson's The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek diverges from this pattern. We follow the main character Cussy Mary who is a Pack Horse Librarian during the Great Depression and also has a rare blood condition that makes her skin blue. I discuss how this book was character driven instead of plot driven, express my appreciation for learning about unknown historical stories, and talk about the ambiguous ending.
