I loved how the story was full of faith, and strength on Christy’s part, and new friendships. The story really draws you into the lives of the main character and all the mountain folks she comes to know in Cutter Gap. Christy was based on the 1967 novel Christy by Catherine Marshall, the widow of Senate chaplain Peter Marshall. I was really impressed with writing talent of Catherine Marshall and I am so glad I had the opportunity to read Christy. Whitaker’s daughter, Catherine Marshall, based the novel Christy on the her mother’s time teaching impoverished children in the mountains of Appalachia. Christy is an American period drama series which aired on CBS from April 1994 to August 1995, for twenty episodes. I felt like I was right there in Cutter Gap with Christy. The author does a fabulous job of setting the scene and developing all the characters throughout the whole book. The author wrote the story based on the real-life experiences of her mother as she set out on her own.
