My Opinion
I especially love the setting of the Smoky Mountains and her hometown of Asheville - a place my husband and I have always dreamed of living! I was caught up in this book from the very first pages and I love even more that it is based on a real person and the stories she shared!
If you haven't read Christy yet, pick it up and don't let another 50 years go by without reading it!
