In this book Christy crosses the bridge from familiar city life to the intriguing world of Cutter Gap. It is filled with the adversity and faith of the people of Cutter Gap. It is a story about determination, tenacity, adventure, emotion and romance.
I want to thank Netgalley for my ARC of this book. This is my true and honest opinion. Aug 07, Katelyn S. For readers of all ages who enjoy Christy by Catherine Marshall, this expanded series comes in 12 easy to read books with lots of action and dialog.

Jan 20, Katie rated it liked it. The reason for the 3 star. It just seemed to drag on and on and I was wondering if it was ever going to end. I would skim till I got to conversation again…never a good sign.
Otherwise the story was good and the spiritual journey of Christy was wonderful. Plenty of heartache but lots of love and joy too. I just knew who the suitors were going to be and I knew whi she would end up with. The ending though VERY abrupt got me all misty eyed. It w The reason for the 3 star. It was nice but will I ever read it again? I'm not sure I want to even tackle Julie… a book about Christy's daughter.
Ice-pick toes. As if He were saying 'I can't use ivory-tower followers. They're plaster of paris, they crumble and fall apart in life's press. So you've got to see life the way it really is before you can do anything about evil. You cannot vanquish it. I can. But in My world the battle against evil has to be a joint endeavor. You and Me. I, God, in you, can have the victory every time. His caring and His love were too real for bitterness to grow in me.
Mar 21, Christine rated it it was amazing Recommended to Christine by: My 8th grade study hall teacher. I have read this book about once a year for the last five years, and there's something about it that just draws me in each time. Maybe it's the teaching missionary part that I so easily identify with, I don't know. This book caputres all the excitement of leaving home for the first time and really starting out in the world on one's own.
I love the way that Christy blunders through experiences as she discovers her individuality and what truly makes her special. In many ways, I think Christy is my I have read this book about once a year for the last five years, and there's something about it that just draws me in each time.
In many ways, I think Christy is my role model. May 21, Kristen rated it it was amazing. How can anybody not like Christy? Especially when the movie is so great as well?
How heroically unselfish she is in the beginning when she thinks it will be easy to teach school in the backwoods of Tennessee. Yeah right. It sound "fun" but I'm not that nice; which is too bad, because she really did make a difference in the lives of the children, as well as the community. But can't I do that were I live, instead of traveling to some outlandish isolated hick town? May 30, Carre Gardner rated it really liked it. I love this book. Twenty years ago, it was one of the stories that inspired me to be a missionary.
Between that first reading and this one, I'd forgotten most of the details of Christy's life in Cutter Gap, so this time through, I had all the fun of discovering a new book while still feeling like I was revisiting an old friend. Nov 25, Kristine Cook rated it really liked it Shelves: pre , agesto , novel , historical. A true-to-the-original adaptation of the story of a city teacher who agrees to work in a one-room schoolhouse in the backwoods of Tennessee.
The language has been brought down to be appropriate for a younger audience while maintaining the interesting story. A good introduction to historical fiction for non-fans with its simple vocabulary, large print, and captivating storyline.

I don't know how this differs from the original Christy, other than it may be broken up into a series? What do you think, Natalie? I thought I was getting the original when I downloaded it to the kindle. Anyway, I really really liked this first one.
Couldn't put it down! I'll have to continue reading the rest. Thanks for the suggestion, Nat! View all 5 comments. Jun 05, Catie rated it it was amazing. I loved this TV show so Mom suggested I read the novel. I loved it even more. Christy's adventures as a teacher and the lifestyle of the Appalachians were engaging. I was sad when the show was canceled. Jun 08, Katie rated it really liked it.
Join Christy as she crosses from the familiar world of parties and pretty things to the different world of Cutter Gap, located in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. There she meets the doctor who needs her help to save a life and the handsome minister who helps her face the challenges of teaching and loving the mountain people. This series is an adaptation of the book, "Christy".
It is a nice, pleasant story, which, I believe would be a YA book. However, it is only 2 hours in length - just telling the beginning of Christy's journey to Cutter Gap. Just to whet your appetite to read more of the series.
Therefore, my question is, "why not just purchase the book 'Christy' and be done with it?? All of her writings have a Christian theme with references to God and faith. I read the book Chyristy in and fell so much in love with it that I have read it at least once a year ever since.
I have bought over 15 copies for myself and twice that many as gifts. I cannot give this book a high enough recommendation except to say that this version is even more riviting as it seems to go inxto more detail. I only hope the rest of the books are as good. I expect they will be and look forward to including them in my daily life. Add to Cart failed.
