Kentucky, 1936. Nineteen-year-old Cussy Mary Carter has been working as part of the Pack Horse Library Project, but her father hopes she’ll marry--despite the family trait of blue skin. In addition to her father’s hopes, Cussy must also face the prejudice of the community she serves.

The All-Access Book Club meets on the first Thursday of every month at 11:00 a.m. via conference call.  We read a variety of books, wonder at the author's ability to so successfully (or not) manipulate our feelings, and have an engaging conversation.  Titles selected are available in the talking books and FCPL collection in various formats. Do not miss out on this opportunity to share your love of books with others throughout the county.

To join the discussion: Call 703-324-1800 or the toll-free number, 1-877-862-8112; At the prompt, enter the code 389887.
