Summary: A safe choice
Review: Written by C. Archer, this book is sixth in a series loosely based on Catherine Marshall's Christy. Although failing to live up to its origins this book is entertaining for its target audience. Christy returns to her home town with a student in need of an operation. She meets an old flame and faces the dilemma of remaining or returning to Cutter Gap. Her two rural flames, David and Neil, accompany her as well, making for an exciting time.Although aimed at preteen girls this book falls short in the area of characterisation. As much as you would love to get into the angst of Christy having to choose between three men there is never any doubt that she will choose the higher calling and return to her poor mountain people. There is also a poor bridge between the previous book and this one in her relationship with David. It's almost like the proposal never happened because the characters don't fill out emotionally. All in all, a quick moral read for young girls.
