Christy (Thorndike Press Large Print Christian Fiction)

"Based on the life of the author's mother, a teacher in poverty-stricken Tennessee, Christy captured the hearts of millions and became a popular CBS television series.

The train taking nineteen-year-old teacher Christy Huddleston from North Carolina to the Smoky Mountain community of Cutter Gap might as well be transporting her to another world. Trapped by poverty, superstitions, and traditions, some there see Christy and her one-room school as a threat to their way of life. Yearning to make a difference, will Christy's determination and devotion be enough?"
