Catherine Marshall's novel Christy first appeared in 1967 and went on to sell more than 8 million copies. The much-beloved story of a well-to-do young woman who moves to the backwoods to become a teacher has captivated fans in print, in a television series, and in three made-for-television movies. This volume contains the first three books in the series adapted from the original novel: The Bridge to Cutter Gap, Silent Superstitions, and The Angry Intruder.
