Review:
When Christy Huddleston leaves a life of privilege and ease to teach in the impoverished Smokey Mountains, her faith is severely tested by her pupils, the love of two men, and the curious customs of the mountain people in her community. Yet she grows to love these people and the simple, fulfilling lifestyle to be found in the heart of God's country. First released in 1967, Christy is based on the life of author Catherine Marshall's mother and was the inspiration for the recent television series of the same name. Beautifully told, this is a charming, timeless tale of love and faith that will appeal to romance readers of all ages. --Maudeen Wachsmith
From the Back Cover:
At age nineteen, Christy Huddleston leaves her comfortable North Carolina home to teach school in the beautiful but poverty-stricken Smoky Mountains. Upon her arrival at Cutter Gap, Tennessee, Christy is stunned by the destitution and ignorance of the mountain people and overwhelmed at her task of teaching 67 of their children.
Christy's faith in God and love for the people is constantly challenged by hardship, disappointment, and primitive surroundings. But determined to make a difference, she plunges into her work-and learns what it means to love and be loved.
Based on the experience of Catherine Marshall's mother, Leonora Wood, the Christy story has been treasured by millions of readers, television viewers, and drama audiences since its 1967 release.
Now old fans and new followers alike can experience the best-selling novel with a glimpse behind the scenes. This Collectors Edition of Christy features more than sixteen pages of never-before-published memorabilia from the Catherine Marshall estate, including original manuscript notes, letters, character sketches, photographs, and journal passages.
