We start the book with Christy as she watches her father walk away, sees her home blur by as the train flashes through familiar territory and then lush, new surroundings. Whether she is called or naïve remains to be seen. Everyone, from parents to teachers to friends, insists that she is not prepared for the poverty, the danger, and the emotional shattering of leaving her bubble, but leave she will.
The year is 1912 and nineteen-year-old Christy Huddleston is inspired to leave her affluent world of Asheville, North Carolina, forfeit her college education, and teach in the rural Cutter Gap community, stationed in the Smoky Mountains. Coming of Age, Finding Love, Learning Faith
