home to teach at a mission school in Cutter Gap, Tennessee. The book
tells the story of the many hardships that Christy encountered during
her first year in Cutter Gap and how she survived them through
determination, courage, and faith in God.

Back to Christy FAQ index
6. SO THE BOOK ISN'T A TRUE STORY?
The book is faction- part fact and part fiction. In the prologue of
"Christy" Catherine Marshall writes:
"And suddenly, I understood how the story should be written - through
mother's eyes, as I had seen it all along. Only from the beginning,
my imagination had taken hold of the true incidents and had begun
shaping them so that now, after so many years, I myself scarcely knew
where truth stopped and fiction began. Therefore, though so much of
the story really happened, I would set it down in the form of
fiction."
