Query: A captivating lifetime favorite! Appeals to many ages.

The made-for-television movie adaptation of this story first attracted my attention to this book. I read Christy three times in a very short time period - as soon as I reached the end, I simply turned back to page one. Over the years, I've read it many more times. It is the innocent and inspirational story of a young woman who finds love, knowledge, and happiness in her walk with God. The author's descriptions of the characters and rustic Appalachian setting are captivating, and Christy's romantic struggles make it difficult for the reader to set the book aside unfinished. I recommend this book to anyone age 12 years or older, but I especially recommend it to those individuals who truly cherish the joy of "curling up with a GOOD book." Of note, the videos and the juvenile book series based on this story are quite good as well.
