My Review: 

Julie is such a beautiful story. I love Julie from the start and admired her strength, courage, learning how to cope, and learning how to make a change. She was determined to do what was right. I was intrigued seeing this era and setting through Julie's eyes. Catherine Marshall did a fabulous job writing such a beautiful and well written book.

I give Julie four stars and recommend it for those who love clean historicals.

'Christy' Giveaway, Blog Tour, and Facebook Live Party

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 Review:

I cannot believe that I have waited this long to finally pick up Catherine Marshall’s Christy.  I have always heard great things about it, never took the time to pick it up. I wished I had done so earlier. I loved Christy’s story.  The  descriptions were so vivid with historical details that I kept imagining this must have been the way my grandparents had lived in the mountains Virginia. I love the people of Cutter Gap and I am so glad I got to know them. What a special group of people. I enjoyed watching Christy becoming into her own person. What a strong and determined, young woman.

I can definitely understand how Christy has become a classic among readers and becoming a series on television. What a wonderful read. 

I do want to note to other readers not to be intimidated by the size of the book. It is so well written and easy to read. I had no problem getting through it in two days. It is most definitely a must read with a well deserved 5 plus stars. 

 I received this book from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
