A Strand of Hope - Librarians of Willow Hollow, #1 - E-book - ePub

Lena Davis is the daughter her mom never wanted. But she survived. Through stories. Because books didn't judge. Books weren't angry she was alive. Books never expected her to be anything but who she was. As she grows up, her beloved library becomes her true home. So when the library is designated part of President Roosevelt's Packhorse Library Project, Lena is determined to get the job of bringing books to highlanders, believing she'll finally be free of her mom forever.
But earning the trust of highlanders is harder than she imagined, and her passion for books might not be enough to free her from her chains. The Packhorse Library Project was part of President Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration to encourage education in the remote parts of the mountains. "A Strand of Hope" is a historical fiction novella based on real events but set in the fictional town of Willow Hollow in the Appalachian mountains.
