The Giver Of Stars
Alice Wright marries American Bennett Van Cleve to escape her stifling English life, but small-town Kentucky proves just as claustrophobic, especially with her overbearing father-in-law. When a call goes out for women to deliver books for Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, Alice eagerly joins.
She teams up with Margery, a smart, self-sufficient leader, and three other women, becoming the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky. Their journey unfolds into a drama of loyalty, justice, and passion as they face dangers in a beautiful yet brutal landscape, determined to bring life-changing books to those who have never had any.
