Unabridged Audiobook
Loved this book and loved Cussie’s sweet heart in helping her neighbors. And I loved the narrator’s accent - it was perfect!
Interesting but predictable
An absolute must read!! True depiction of the condition of methemoglobiemia and the social ramifications of the condition.
So, I read this book out of order. I read The Book Woman's Daughter and love it. Afterward was when I found out it was a sequel to The Women of Troublesome Creek, so I was ready to find out more about the characters. I was disappointed. It wasn't as good as the Book Woman's Daughter. I mean, I found out where Honey came from, but not so much why her parents got in trouble. The history of the Blue- Skinned people of Kentucky was breezed by, and they addressed the Pack Horse Library Project of Kentucky. Which made me wonder if it still exists. Cussy, aka Bluet, the protagonist, is a force to be reckon with. Her work helped the impoverished hill people read. She even read to the ones who were illiterate. This book brings light to being rich, but not how many pictures it. Even though the hill people didn't have money or proper education, they were rich in family, love, traditions, and culture. I would love to see a follow up on The Book Woman's Daughter. #Book13of2023 #BookWorm #Whatsnext
