"When her father loses his job during the Great Depression, Addies Cowherd is forced to take a job delivering books on horseback to poor coal-mining families in the hills of Kentucky. But the Boone's Hollow residents are deeply suspicious of outsiders. Even local Emmett Tharp feels the sting of rejection after graduating college and returning home. As Addie struggles to find her place, she unearths the truth about a decades-old rivalry. But when someone sets out to sabotage the town's library program, will the culprit chase Addie away or into the arms of the only person who can help her put a broken community back together?"--
