The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes


Marsha chose this historical fiction published in 2019. It is set  in a
remote area of Eastern Kentucky back in the depression. It is about
five brave women who journey through the hills of Kentucky by
packhorse distributing library books funded by a program started 
by franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Moyes is a British author but
she really captures the people and ways of the area. There is of course
some nice love stories woven in as well. There was some claim that
Moyes plagiarized Kim Michele Richardson's "The Book Women of Troublesome Creek".
Marsha made pot pies and we played with Opal, her Bichon Frize.
