I hope you can join us. Petal Pushers Garden Club By Gloria Brosky, 714 -292-8507 e book for October, e Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michelle Richardson, is a New York Times bestseller. "Cussy Mary Carter is the last of her kind, her skin the color of a blue damselfly in these dusty hills. But that doesn't mean she's got nothing to offer. As a member of the Pack Horse Library Project, Cussy delivers books to the hill folk of Troublesome, hoping to spread learning in these desperate times. But not everyone is so keen on Cussy's family or the Library Project, and the hardscrabble Kentuckians are quick to blame a Blue for any trouble in their small town. e Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a story of raw courage, fierce strength, and one woman's determination to bring a little bit of hope to the darkly hollers." (Baker & Taylor) e Book Readers meet on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 10:30 am in the Meeting Room. Book Readers By Patti Christiansen Our ukulele group continues to grow as we welcome new members.
