<B>An empowering ode to the brave librarians from Kentucky.</B><P> Following the Great Depression, literacy rates in the country had dwindled, and education and opportunities were harder to come by, especially in areas like rural Appalachia. But still, there was a dream: a vision of a nation in which reading was accessible to all—even those in the most remote places. </P><P> The Packhorse Library project of the 1930s and 1940s called upon Kentucky women to make that vision a reality and rise to the difficult and demanding job of delivering books on horseback. The Packhorse librarians were brave, steadfast, and resilient. For years, the women endured rough terrain, harsh conditions, and exhaustion. And with each book delivered and reading lesson taught, the librarians ushered in a new era for Kentuckians. </P><P> With uplifting prose by Lauren H. Kerstein and lush, hand-painted art from Becca Stadtlander, <I>Hope Rode</I> tells the true story of the strength, courage, and conviction of the Packhorse librarians. </P>
