The Librarians Who Changed the Mountains Forever
In the heart of Depression-era Kentucky, a revolution unfolded on horseback. As economic devastation gripped America, the WPA launched an extraordinary experiment-a traveling library where women would deliver books to the most remote Appalachian communities. For Alice Wright, an English bride trapped in a loveless marriage in tiny Baileyville, this program offered escape from her suffocating life with Bennett Van Cleve and his domineering father. When the call for volunteers met silence at the town meeting, Alice surprised everyone-including herself-by raising her hand. That single act launched her into an adventure that would transform not just her life, but an entire region. Alongside the fiercely independent Margery O'Hare, Alice would discover that books could be more than entertainment; they could be lifelines, weapons against ignorance, and bridges between worlds. In these Kentucky mountains, where beauty and brutality lived side by side, a group of remarkable women would defy convention to bring literacy, hope, and unexpected freedom to those society had forgotten.
