Meet the Author! : The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek - Kim Michele Richardson
Kim Michele Richardson will join us in a Zoom Meeting to discuss her book titled "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek".
This novel is inspired by the Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project of the 1930's. It is the story of the brave packhorse librarians who courageously delivered books and magazines, along with kindness and concern to the hill people of the Appalachias of Kentucky. The book is also a testament to the true blue-skinned people of Kentucky. As Karen Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of Liar Temptress Soldier Spy states, this book is "a timeless and significant tale about poverty, intolerance and how books can bring hope and light to even the darkest pocket of history."

"The Book of Lost Friends" with Author Lisa Wingate
New York Times bestselling author Lisa Wingate will join us in a Zoom Meeting to discuss her newest book "The Book of Lost Friends".
For those of you who enjoyed Lisa Wingate's previous novel, Before We Were Yours, you will be thrilled to meet the author virtually to discuss her newest novel, The Book of Lost Friends, recently published in April. After the Civil War, actual "Lost Friends" advertisements appeared in Southern newspapers as newly freed slaves searched for friends and family members who had been sold away. Ms. Wingate was told about these advertisements by one of her readers. Wingate was captivated by the advertisements in such a way that she just had to create a story from them. Using copies of the real advertisements in the novel, Wingate connects students living in 20th century Louisiana to their 19th century post Civil War past. This novel is told from the perspectives of a teacher trying to engage her students in 1987 Louisiana and a freed slave in 1875 Louisiana desperately trying to find her family. In her customary form, Lisa Wingate has written a book that you won't want to put down once you start reading it.
