Synopsis
In the year 1912, nineteen-year-old Christy Huddleston leaves home to teach school in the Smoky Mountains -- and comes to know and love the resilient people of the region, with their fierce pride, their dark superstitions, their terrible poverty, and their yearning for beauty and truth. But her faith will be severely challenged by trial and tragedy, by the needs and unique strengths of two remarkable young men, and by a heart torn between true love and unwavering devotion.

This is an absolutely delightful story. I'd read it as a teenager, but coming back to it as an adult made it much more insightful. Christy grapples with questions of faith with no easy answers, and she gets to meet a lot of interesting characters along the way. The romance is sweet but subtle, and in the end I closed the book with a smile on my face. If you like historical novels, check this one out. It's religious but not too preachy, and I dare you not to fall in love with the kids Christy teaches.
