Hope a Little More Series – Books to be Thankful For – Christy

Happy Thanksgiving week my friends. Below is my review of the new release of the book “Christy” by Catherine Marshall. If you need a good read over the Thanksgiving holiday this would be a great choice.

About the Book:

New edition of Catherine Marshall’s inspirational classic! 
The train taking nineteen-year-old teacher Christy Huddleston from her home in Asheville, North Carolina, might as well be transporting her to another world. The Smoky Mountain community of Cutter Gap feels suspended in time, trapped by poverty, superstitions, and century-old traditions.
But as Christy struggles to find acceptance in her new home, some see her – and her one-room school – as a threat to their way of life. Her faith is challenged and her heart is torn between two strong men with conflicting views about how to care for the families of the Cove.
Yearning to make a difference, will Christy’s determination and devotion be enough?
Learn more, download a free map of Cutter Gap, and purchase a copy.
My Thoughts:
In my opinion this is one of the best books that have been written, and I was so excited when I heard and updated version being released again. I  have fond memories of reading this as a child, and I also remember the shows that aired based on the book. However, the books are always better than the shows, and that is true in this case. These days it seems harder and harder to find well written literature that is suitable for the entire family, but this story accomplishes that beautifully. If you are a fan of this book already, read it again and if you have never read it, add it to your must read list. With the holidays nearing this would be a perfect gift for the book lovers in your life. This book is a delight as well as informative as the novel shares the experiences among the folks in the Appalachian Highlanders. The stories shared will keep you turning the page as you read the journey of the folks in this simple mountain town. Even though this was written long ago, the experiences shared and the deep faith that was described throughout will encourage your heart. This is definitely a story I will continue to go back to for years to come.

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.
