CHRISTY
Just needed to "blog" about a book/movie I have been into lately. Its called "Christy" by Catherine Marshal. They played the movies on TV, it was made into a miniseries back in the mid 90's, and was recently re-aired on tv. I was so hooked to it, DVR'ed it and keep watching it. I am just taken w/ all the characters. I feel like I have a lot in common w/ her, with her mission and being a teacher I guess. I was so upset w/ how the last episode left you completely dangling! I thought there was more to the series, but found out it did, in fact end with the 19th episode. I couldn't believe it! She is torn btw. two loves, Preacher/ Doctor. I personally liked the dr. best. I checked it out and quickly flipped to the last page, apparently it doesn't really tell you about her future and how it all pans out. I was even more intrigued when I found that the book is based on the author's mother's mission to the Great Smokies of Tennessee. I read more about the real 'Christy', and how she went back to TN after 40 years and how things had changed. Has anyone read/ or seen the movies? What did you think??

I've read the book several times, although it has been a few years since the last time I read it. I've been telling Kelly forever that she NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK. She's like you - she watched the series on dvd and was seriously ticked off that it stopped the way it did. Read the whole book if you haven't. It's one of my all time favorites.
I remember watching the serie and I think read one of the books. I enjoyed them, but it was a long time ago too.
Gloria, you are so right. Kelly should read this. I am enjoying the book so much!
I haven't ever read the books either, but I too loved the series. I wanted her to end up with the Doctor too!! Plus, I thought the actor was way cute!! Haha!
The book is so much better than the show and movies. I did like the show, when they replaced Kelly Marshall and Tyne Daley the movies weren't as good but still enjoyable. Julie is another fiction book by Catherine Marshall that I really enjoyed. I read them both in high school and need to reread them!
