The train taking nineteen-year-old teacher Christy Huddleston from her home in Asheville, North Carolina, might as well be transporting her to another world. The Smoky Mountain community of Cutter Gap feels suspended in time, trapped by poverty, superstitions, and century-old traditions.
But as Christy struggles to find acceptance in her new home, some see her — and her one-room school — as a threat to their way of life. Her faith is challenged and her heart is torn between two strong men with conflicting views about how to care for the families of the Cove.
Yearning to make a difference, will Christy’s determination and devotion be enough?

if you love historical fiction like I do you will love this book. This was my second time reading this book ( plus watched the movie as a young child)
The movie inspired teenage me to read the book which of the lovers will she choose... I LOVED IT. Now fast forward 12 years later and the story takes on a whole new meaning. The lives that are touched by Christy as a teacher and her struggles to cope with all the differences and finding the only answer is ...... well you will have to read it for yourself.
