Yet she grows to love these people and the simple, fulfilling lifestyle to be found in the heart of God's country. First released in 1967, <I>Christy</I> is based on the life of author Catherine Marshall's mother and was the inspiration for the recent television series of the same name. Beautifully told, this is a charming, timeless tale of love and faith that will appeal to romance readers of all ages. <i>--Maudeen Wachsmith</i> 3158544 1967 Christy total:2774|5:35|4:64|3:34|2:10|1:1| 2774 11366 3298 352 5 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1991 Sun Mar 30 19:14:14 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 19:21:10 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Fri Jan 30 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 30 13:52:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 30 14:33:05 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Feb 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Oct 17 16:01:14 -0700 2008 Mon Feb 23 11:49:08 -0800 2009 What a strong female character the narrator is!
