So similar to The Book Women of Troublesome Creek that I thought I bought the book a second time!
I purchased on July 23, 2019, and read, The Book Women of Troublesome Creek: A Novel by Kim Michele Richardson that was published May 7, 2019. When I purchased on Oct 17, 2019, The Giver of Stars: A Novel by Jojo Moyes, I was surprised to see that the plot was so similar that it was almost like they had been writing from the same script. I went back and looked to see what showed up first. It would be hard for me to believe that the second book didn't have access to the first one. There were a few changes but many of the scenes seem to have been lifted almost intact. Jojo Moyes may get a movie out of this but REALLY!
