Snowy, slushy day here in western NY and I‘m feeling nostalgic. This was one of my very favorite books as a child, one I borrowed again and again from the library. Years later, I bought that very copy in the library book sale!

The Moonlight School shines a light on adult literacy. It's based on the true story of Cora Wilson Stewart set in the hills of Kentucky in 1911. Highly recommended.
pickA good mix of magical realism & mystery. I didn't want to put this down & would definitely shelve it as “cozy“. The atmosphere of the woods & small town just hit the spot & I loved the quirky characters. The writing is really good & descriptive. The pace is a little slow & there is a lot of setup, so some readers may get bogged down. An enjoyable tale with a little bit of tension & a small town with a good mix of good & evil. Cozy up & enjoy.
pickChristian historical fiction based on the real life woman who brought literacy to adults in the hills of Kentucky. Very interesting, not really preachy for those who don‘t want a heavy handed message.

pickThis newest release takes us to 1911 eastern Kentucky where 1/3 of the county is illiterate or semi-illiterate. Learning about the life in the Appalachian Mountains during this time period was fascinating. This book will appeal to historical fiction fans and to anyone passionate about literacy.
I received the book via Celebrate Lit Tours and all opinions are solely my own.
