Where green meets blue
(Book)

"A woman would have to be crazy to take a job delivering books on horseback across treacherous mountain trails to poor mountaineers who can barely even read. Marian Kearnes isn't crazy - she's desperate. On the run from an abusive father, she must find a way to survive in the rugged Appalachian Mountains. The only thing she brought with her is a horse and a wild passion for books. Could that be enough? Just when freedom is so close, Marian meets Henry, a handsome young widower, and his two children. She teaches them to read, and feels that here in their mountain home, she has finally found a place that would break her heart to leave. But staying means giving up all she's wanted for her life, nothing more than the chance to be independent. Will she at last be uncaged, or will love be worth giving up her one opportunity for escape?" -- Back cover.
