My Personal Review:
Christy has been a best seller for 50 years and I can’t believe that I hadn’t read it until now! I do remember watching the series on television years and years ago and loving it, but the book is even better than I remember the show being. The author wrote the story based on the real-life experiences of her mother as she set out on her own. The author does a fabulous job of setting the scene and developing all the characters throughout the whole book. I felt like I was right there in Cutter Gap with Christy. I was really impressed with writing talent of Catherine Marshall and I am so glad I had the opportunity to read Christy. The story really draws you into the lives of the main character and all the mountain folks she comes to know in Cutter Gap. I loved how the story was full of faith, and strength on Christy’s part, and new friendships. If you or your young teens haven’t had a chance to ready Christy yet and you enjoy historical fiction with a little romance and a great storyline then I highly suggest you read Christy soon!
About the Author:
Catherine Marshall (1914-1983), The New York Times best-selling author of 30 books, is best known for her novel Christy. Based on the life of her mother, Christy captured the hearts of millions and became a popular CBS television series. Around the kitchen table at Evergreen Farm, as her mother reminisced, Catherine probed for details and insights into the rugged lives of these Appalachian highlanders. Catherine shared the story of her husband, Dr. Peter Marshall, Chaplain of the United States Senate, in A Man Called Peter. A decade after Dr. Marshall’s untimely death, Catherine married Leonard LeSourd, Executive Editor of Guideposts, forging a dynamic writer-editor partnership. A beloved inspirational writer and speaker, Catherine’s enduring career spanned four decades and reached over 30 million readers.
I am a southern girl through and through that loves to laugh, cook, read and spend time with family. My passions outside of home schooling my son are ministering to those in need and creating art in the kitchen! Every day is an adventure in our little house and I wouldn’t trade it or the chance to share here with you for anything!
