I’m a sucker for books
set in my home state especially because that includes an unique piece of
history of my state. The Moonlight School is my first book by Suzanne Woods
Fisher and I loved it.
This book is
historical fiction not really historical romance which I enjoyed. I also loved
that the author wove in both historical and fictional characters to create a
wonderful story that brought notice to adult ill literacy with the story of
Cora Wilson Stewart’s moonlight schools. In which she used to help the adults
people of Rowan county learn to read. Because learning to read leads to
knowledge and knowledge is power. She is a Kentucky heroine and wish more
people knew about her. I love how her story came to life through the point of
view of her fictional cousin Lucy.
However Kentucky today
has one of the highest I’ll-literary rate in the country. As a library employee
I hope that this fictional novel brings attention to this issue.
I received a complimentary copy The Moonlight School from
