The Book Woman's Daughter by Kim Michele Richardson
Set in 1950s Appalachia, a sixteen-year-old girl—daughter of a blue-skinned packhorse librarian—must fend for herself after her parents are jailed for an unlawful marriage, evading a predatory social system determined to lock her away. Striking out in the Kentucky hills, she finds work carrying books to remote families, forges alliances with bold, unconventional women, and confronts prejudice, corruption, and coal-camp dangers. As she comes of age, she fights for independence and justice, discovering resilience and the power of stories to sustain a community.
