I really enjoyed this book because of the protagonist's initial position within the community and how she grew in resolve and stature when her husband turned violent. Showed her determination for making sure she remained ture to herself.

Alice Wright is living a stifling life in England. Along comes Bennett Van Cleve. In the hopes of having a better life she marries Bennett and moves to a small town in Kentucky, where, to her dismay, her life if no better, in fact it may even be worse. Until she hears about The Packhorse Library, a program started by Eleanor Roosevelt. Joining this group of women is the best thing that happens to her and changes her life forever.
Fans of Jojo Moyes will not be disappointed in this story.
