an all time favorite. one of the reasons i strive to be a teacher.
Chelsea C. (I read this book when I was in middle school and just reread it this summer. The story is so amazing! It's based in some fact, but also has quite a few fictional elements. I love the characters of Christy, Fairlight, Neil and Miss Alice. This book is definitely worth owning and reading over and over.
I read this book as a teen, a young adult and as an adult. Like all good stories, this one appeals to all ages. A young woman from a upper-class home, sets out to teach children in the Appalachia. She learns about these people, herself and God.
You will not regret the time to read this book, and will wish that there was more! I highly recommend this for any young women, 14 and up.
Nancy F. (This is an AWESOME story! First, it's based on a true life event. Secondly, the style and flow are so enjoyable to read. I have read this one many times (not this copy....just the book!) and always enjoy it. Find out about the "old time" missionaries in America. It's a love story...a story of hate...a story of diversity...a story of fables and colorful language....a story of great characters....a story of Queen Esther....bootleggers...beautiful children and details about clothes, food, nature, you won't forget this story and your heart and faith will be lifted up.
One of my favorite stories as a kid. I loved the descriptive style of this book. The way Marshall explains the people and community are so vivid.
A young girl, living a good life in New England, hears about a need in the mountains. She goes there to help the people and falls in love with the area and the people. This is her story, and it is basically a true one.
Catherine Marshall is great! Christy is the book upon which the CBS television shows were based.
