The Book Woman's Daughter: A Novel Review: Great story about a WPA project in Kentucky - In the 1930s, Franklin D Roosevelt set up many programs to bring jobs to under employed areas of the country. This book tells the story about Cussie Mary Carter, who in her teens became a Rural Librarian at Troublesome Creek. It is a story of hardship and overcoming that hardship to build a better life for herself and her family. There are many poignant stories, including racial prejudice against Cussie Mary as she was one of the Blue people of Kentucky (look up this, for many generations a genetic enzyme defect created people who had blue skin). The books shares stories of great sadness during those tough times and hope for a new generation. Excellent read and compelling writing. Thank you to Kim Michele Richardson for a realistic story about the mountains of Kentucky and the stuggles people faced. Review: Really Good! - This is the sequel to the Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and tells the story of Honey, the book woman's daughter and her fight for freedom and emancipation. It delved into a part of history that is often forgotten about - one where women were often treated as second class citizens. I enjoyed this one as much as the original. I am looking into more from the author because Kim Michele Richardson tells a very good story. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #10,621 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #74 in Small Town & Rural Fiction (Books) #205 in Women's Friendship Fiction #500 in Historical Fiction (Books) | | Book 2 of 2 | The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (18,584) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.88 x 8.25 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1728242592 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1728242590 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | May 3, 2022 | | Publisher | Sourcebooks Landmark | ## Images ![The Book Woman's Daughter: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XZzeDkO9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great story about a WPA project in Kentucky *by J***M on September 14, 2025* In the 1930s, Franklin D Roosevelt set up many programs to bring jobs to under employed areas of the country.

I like how she finished up the story line with Cussie and Mr. Lovett. I also like how they took an orphan and made her their own. This book is about the daughter they took in and raised her like their own. Well, they did end up adopting her. Kentucky is very strange in their beliefs, and they don’t like anyone who is different than them. Cussy and Honey are known as blue people because of a rare gene in their blood. There is nothing wrong with them or contagious. It just makes them different. In fact, the people are more afraid of them than blacks. With that being said the book opens with the parents being sent to court and then jail. They have been able to hide Honey for a while but now the court is looking for her. They sent her to live with Miss Loretta up in Troublesome. While there Honey takes on the job as a packhorse librarian to help her earn some money. Something happens to Miss Loretta which leaves Honey on her own. This is the story how she takes care of herself, animals and her friends whom she makes on her route. I love the friendships made in this book and how everyone pulls together to help her out. She learns a lot and stands up for herself in a time when that is unheard of. I recommend that you read this book but make sure you read The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek first, so you get the full picture. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/349618208-the-book-womans-daughter-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.it/products/349618208-the-book-womans-daughter-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
