The Moonlight School

The Moonlight School by Suzanne Woods Fisher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love stories with real history and real historical characters woven seamlessly throughout the story. This is one of those! I had to stop myself from turning to the back to see if this or that was fact or fiction. I prefer to wait until the end most of the time, but the author did such a good job of combining this story that I was tempted – more than once – to peek. Wrapped around Lucy’s journey to adult independence is the history of one woman’s crusade against illiteracy in the deep hollows of Kentucky’s backcountry. But my favorite character was brother Wyatt. You’ll have to read it to see why. 🙂
