A teacher’s new life in the Smoky Mountains

Nineteen-year-old Christy Huddleston leaves Asheville to teach in Cutter Gap, a poor, isolated Smoky Mountain community shaped by long-standing traditions and superstitions. Her one-room school becomes a point of tension as she seeks acceptance and faces resistance to change. The description also places faith and competing ideas about caring for local families at the heart of Christy’s challenge. This anniversary edition includes an afterword about the novel’s reception, along with a character list and a map of the town.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical fiction set in an isolated Appalachian community.
  • Those drawn to stories about teaching, faith, and tensions between tradition and change.
  • Readers who value editions with supplementary material such as a character list and town map.

Book overview

b>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./b

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./p>

Yearning to make a difference, will Christy's determination and devotion be enough?/p>

p>Since its first release in 1967, Christy has sold an astonishing 10 million copies. Now the beloved story is available in a special 50th anniversary edition which includes an afterword reflecting on the success of the book and how many people Christy's story has reached, as well as added features like a character list and a town map to enhance the reading experience for fans old and new./p>
