This story depicts how the "Pack Horse Librarians" would travel through any weather to deliver books in the Appalachia mountains in Kentucky.
Cal tells the story in the Appalachia dialect how he almost resents this woman coming every two weeks with books. A cold, snowy winter cooped up in the house transforms his attitude as he learns to read and appreciate the gift of "that book woman" and her books.
Inspiring story!
