I enjoy fiction based from historical events, and I feel the author did a good job of honoring the real context of this story and bringing this perhaps little known history to light. Though there was love and family/found family in this story that was lovely to read, I would not call this is a light read - it does deal with some heavy subjects

I enjoyed this read because I learned so much from it. At times, I didn't love some of the story/plot points, but I appreciated how it introduced me to a piece of history (Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project) and a culture (blue-skinned people of Kentucky) that I knew nothing about. And isnt that the joy of reading?
