The program employed over 1,000 women and reached approximately 200,000 people. The rural library program is no longer active, but it impacted many people during its operation. These encounters provide insights into the diverse community living in the region. Cussy Mary meets various people while delivering books, including a snake-handling preacher, a moonshiner, and an Irish family living in the mountains. The book has several smaller stories happening simultaneously, which adds depth to the plot. The author also honors the region’s history by incorporating local folklore and customs into the story. The book sheds light on a little-known part of history and educates readers about the discrimination faced by this community. One of the most important aspects of the story is the author’s ability to highlight the struggles faced by “Blue” people. These programs are similar to the Pack Horse Library Project and aim to increase literacy rates and promote education in rural areas. However, initiatives such as mobile libraries and bookmobiles have been introduced to address this issue. Today, rural areas still face challenges when it comes to access to resources. The program impacted the region by increasing literacy rates, promoting education, and providing access to resources that were previously unavailable. However, her job as a Pack Horse Librarian gave her a sense of purpose and allowed her to connect with people who shared her love for books. Cussy Mary Carter, a “Blue” woman, faced discrimination and isolation from her community.

The library service played a significant role in the main character’s life. The book accurately portrays the challenges faced by the women who participated in the program. The program was part of President Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration, and it aimed to increase literacy rates in rural areas. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a work of fiction, but the author, Kim Michele Richardson, drew inspiration from the Pack Horse Library Project, a program that operated in the Appalachian region in the 1930s. The character is resilient, and her determination to deliver books to rural areas despite the challenges she faces is inspiring.

The author’s ability to convey the story through the eyes of the protagonist, Cussy Mary Carter, makes it easy to read. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a compelling story despite the sad events that unfold.
