The Giver Of Stars-Jojo Moyes
Set in the 19030's this book is about 5 women who are part of the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky, a group that was part of the WPS, to make work for people during the depression. Although the work was fictional it was interesting to read about the work these women did.
Unfortunately the author was soon accused of plagiarism. In 2019, two years before Moyes book was release, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek was published that also tells the story of the packhorse librarians. It seems there are numerous similarities between the story lines of both books. I guess I will now need to read the other book so I can decide for myself whether it is just coincidence or not.
