That Book Woman


I read a lot of reviews every year and sometimes when Sue unpacks our order I read a book and wonder what I was thinking. Other times I'll read a book and be so thoroughly engaged in the story that I have to share it immediately with whatever class is coming in. That Book Woman by Heather Henson was one of those books. Based on the Pack Horse Librarians of Appalachia, it tells the story of Cal, a reluctant reader and the devoted woman who traveled miles by horse to bring books to his family. How much did I enjoy the story? I'll be giving a copy of the book to my nephew this afternoon.
