The sole surviving female member of the uncommon Blue People lineage, Cussy Carter, 19, is a blue-skinned woman who lives in 1936 in the deep forests of Troublesome Creek, Kentucky.
The young, lonely Appalachian lady decides to become a librarian and joins the famous Pack Horse Library Project of Kentucky. She rides her devoted mule across slick stream beds and up dangerous slopes to bring books and other reading materials to the destitute hill people of Eastern Kentucky.
Cussy, also called Bluet by the mountain people, encounters people who are dubious of the government's new book initiative and her damselfly-blue complexion as she travels along her perilous path. She makes friends with complicated, hard-working Kentuckians and is passionately committed to promoting reading, offering consolation and pleasure, and providing those in need with a little escape to distant places via books.
