Blue Skin, Bold Heart: The Last of Her Kind
In the remote hollows of 1930s Kentucky, Cussy Mary Carter navigates life with two extraordinary circumstances: her rare blue skin and her determination to serve as a Pack Horse librarian. The last known carrier of methemoglobinemia-a blood disorder turning her skin a striking cobalt-blue-Cussy faces constant discrimination from a community that sees her as neither white nor Black but something otherworldly. Children run at her approach while adults cross the street, whispered superstitions trailing in her wake. Yet amid this isolation, Cussy finds purpose through Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration, earning $28 monthly to deliver books to Kentucky's most isolated families. Traversing treacherous mountain paths on her mule Junia, she braves steep cliffs, swollen creeks, and wild animals to reach remote hollows where children's excited cries of "Book Woman's here!" give her a sense of belonging she's never known. Through these journeys, Cussy witnesses literature transforming lives-children learn their letters, adults master practical skills, and the elderly find escape from hardship through stories that transport them beyond their hollow.
