Haunted by her sister's mysterious disappearance, Lucy Wilson
arrives in Rowan County, Kentucky, in the spring of 1911 to work
for Cora Wilson Stewart, superintendent of education. When Cora
sends Lucy into the hills to act as scribe for the mountain people,
she is repelled by the primitive conditions and intellectual
poverty she encounters. Few adults can read and write. Born in
those hills, Cora knows the plague of illiteracy. So does Brother
Wyatt, a singing schoolmaster who travels through the hills.
Involving Lucy and Wyatt, Cora hatches a plan to open the
schoolhouses to adults on moonlit nights. The best way to combat
poverty, she believes, is to eliminate illiteracy. But will the
people come? As Lucy emerges from a life in the shadows, she finds
purpose; or maybe purpose finds her. With purpose comes answers to
her questions, and something else she hadn't expected: love.
Inspired by the true events of the Moonlight Schools, this
standalone novel from bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher
brings to life the story that shocked the nation into taking adult
literacy seriously. You'll finish the last page of this enthralling
story with deep gratitude for the gift of reading.
