My cover isn't super exciting, so I give you Kitty as compensation 😂

I remember enjoying this book as a teen but wasn't sure how it would hold up as an adult - but I found it completely engaging. Christy is just a likable character, so it makes the whole story work. She's genuine in her efforts to understand the world around, and I related so much to her desire to make her childhood faith something tangible and real. This is definitely a ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Christian-y book, but there is plenty of story beyond that. This is a fascinating look at the backwoods in the early 20th century loosely based on the author's mother's experiences. I did feel like the story lost some momentum when it veered from the classroom/school experiences into the epidemic, and the ending felt rather abrupt, but on the whole I really enjoyed this one.

Librarybelle Kitty! I‘m still reading and am enjoying my reread of this one! 17h
Sace I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I first read it in my early 20s and it didn‘t make much of an impression (all I could remember was that everyone had eye infections). I think I got a lot more out of it this time. I can see this being one I reread. 15h

I took this from my mom‘s bookshelf years ago and finally read it with #RandomClassic

Turns out this is a 1967 copy that belonged to my dad‘s mom. I‘m glad she stuck an address label inside so I‘d see it all these years later.

I really enjoyed learning about this time and community which I had little knowledge of before.

And what an ending!!!!

I could not put this down. It was addicting and fast-paced and twisty. But the last like 2-3 pages…what? How? It made flip back to previous chapters, trying to figure stuff out, and I still have questions.
