This one has been sitting on my TBR for a very long time. It was so overhyped and that usually leads to disappointment. I had no desire to be disappointed. Surprisingly, I loved it. But I think it helped that the quiet country girl inside me found it very relatable. “I have to do life alone. But I knew this. I've known a long time that people don't stay."

(thru ch5) Goodness, so much has happened already! I am remembering why I enjoyed this book so much in my teens. Like Christy, I grew up in a safe, happy, religious household, and while I love my family I can remember wanting more, wanting to do SOMETHING, wanting to find a way to make my beliefs more than just words and feelings, wanting to wrestle with those beliefs and make them my own, not just my parents'. In this readthrough, I already have⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) a lot of respect for Christy. She has grit! I can't believe the hike she took to get to the mission. And the crazy emergency surgery on poor Mr. Allen! I already love Miss Henderson, too. I'm so curious to see what happens as Christy meets her new students and their families. Are you all enjoying this one so far?

Librarybelle I am enjoying it. I can remember why I read it so quickly in school—it‘s an easy read, and I like the view of the rural community. It was an eye opening read for me in ways—so different from where I grew up, and it‘s historic, so definitely captured my interest when I was a tween. Now, I‘m appreciating the descriptions and the setting. This is a good read for this time of year! now
BarkingMadRead This is a reread for me, but I still love it just as much! now

Wow! Listened to this audiobook and I loved it. It had the feel of a Dicken‘s novel with lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing about who was up to what throughout. I‘m glad I finally took the time for this one.

Brianna from the Outlander series is one of my favorites. There is a dearth of fan art that is not based on the tv actress. This is by Mograinne on DeviantArt.

"But let's be honest, shall we? When adults tell a child or a teenager that they're precocious, what they're really saying is, 'Please don't say that aloud.'"

The accuracy...
