| My review: A sweet story of a pack-horse librarian named Lillian, who leaves the home of her father in order to share books and hope with the mountain folk of Kentucky. She is friendly and caring, but has a few hurdles to overcome. First there is a crotchety old man named Crow (favorite character), and then there is her own pride in why she finds it hard to share the gospel. This story speaks deeply and painfully to me, since I have an even harder time sharing with people. I'm a Calvinist, so I might not say "God loves you," to a random person, so it's a bit harder to know what to say, but that's more of an excuse than anything. Anyway, good book with good characters! I like the sweet interaction between Lillian and her father. There's no romance in this book at all, which is nice for a change. 4/5 stars.    |
