It was so interesting to read this story. I never had heard of the "blue" people. My husband spent some time on Kentucky and he heard about them.
I loved Cussy. She had a great spirit even when people looked down on her because of her condition.
I really liked the Pack Horse program. It was a great idea to get books out to people that would otherwise not be able to read books. I really didn't seem to like much of the patrons Cussy had until they started coming around and really looking out for Cussy .
I also had to research the courting candle. Something else I had never heard of and I thought that was an interesting way to get one of your children married.
I felt so bad for Cussy and Jackson at the end but I love that they found a way to get around what happened.
