This was a damn good book.
This book educated me, thrilled me, and touched me.
“Where’s my manners? I hope you get to feeling pert soon, ma’am. I miss seeing my bonny Picasso.” He grinned.
I stared at him blankly, and he added, “Picasso’s painting of the pretty blue lady, the Woman with a Helmet of Hair that I’d seen in one of the magazines you brought us? You remind me of her. Your fine color. My woman always said God saved that best color for His home.” He pointed a finger up to a patch of blue sky parting the gray clouds. “Guess He must’ve had Himself a little left over.”
Astonished, I could feel my face warm. No one, not a soul, ever said my old color was fine. The best.
This book educated me, thrilled me, and touched me.
Great story about the Blue Women who also became a book woman delivering books to the poor on the Blue Ridge Mountsins
