Historical novel
Alice, a non-stop reader, is drifting along working as a librarian and being courted by a young man who is a funeral assistant. Things seem to be satisfactory since Alice is able to read as much as she likes and still have all the socially expected things in life. Suddenly she loses both her boyfriend and her job. In trying to escape the local gossip she puts herself in a real life drama, attempted murder, missing treasure and the tangled mysteries of family and life in a small town called Acorn in Kentucky. This historical novel looks at the packhorse librarian's life in Kentucky.
