The Person Who Lights up the Stars
About This Novel
The young and rebellious Alice thought that she could start a completely different life by crossing the ocean. But life in the New World was far more boring and depressing than she expected. When she learned that the "Horseback Library" project needed female librarians, she decided to sign up despite her family's objections. Alice joins a strange little team, including Beth, a tomboy who doesn't get any love from her family, Izzy, a wealthy daughter who is super unsure because of her lameness, Sophia, a black woman who has always been resolute and courageous despite the discrimination of the world, and Margery, who has a "bastard" father and is a maverick. They overcame many difficulties and worked together to send books, stories, knowledge, hope, and love to the most remote families. While lighting up the lives of others, it also makes your own days full of vitality because of such a long journey. Of course, not everyone likes them, and not everyone thinks reading is a good thing. They must work hard to protect this beloved career, and also face the storms in their own destiny... This book is based on the historical facts of the "Great Depression" period in the 1930s.
