In the ruggedness of the beautiful Kentucky mountains, Honey Lovett has always known that the old ways can make a hard life harder. As the daughter of the famed blue-skinned Troublesome Creek packhorse librarian, Honey and her family have been hiding from the law all her life. But when her mother and father are imprisoned, Honey realizes she must fight to stay free or risk being sent away for good. Picking up her mother's old Pack Horse Library route, Honey begins to deliver books to the remote hollers of Appalachia. Honey is looking to prove that she doesn't need anyone telling her how to survive. But the route can be treacherous, and some folks aren't as keen to let a woman pave her own way. If Honey wants to bring the freedom books provide to the families who need it most, she's going to have to fight for her place and, along the way, learn that the extraordinary women who run the hills and hollers can make all the difference in the world. - Back cover.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but this one felt flat to me. The message of “books will save the world!“ was shouted too loudly, with the rest of the story seeming to be shoehorned in around it.
