She re-established her school in southern England."

"There are so many good reasons besides proper pronunciation for being intentional about what your children are hearing.  It is one of the ways we learn to think on true, good, lovely, and praiseworthy things, which we ought to be doing ourselves also.  We break bad habits by replacing them with good habits."

"The Author’s Note begins: 'This story was inspired by the true and courageous work of the Pack Horse Librarians, who were known as ‘Book Women” in the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky.'”
