I came across this when cleaning out some things and remembered how much I loved this charming little series when I was young. A fun, wholesome,endearing read based on the book Christy and its TV series that I definitely recommend.

Such a sweet little story! I love that this fiction series can pack so much into a little book and can be read at any age. There were many lovely moments, and reading about these old mountain men bickering to each other is so funny. Because it’s so obvious they care for each other and value family so much but they’re also too proud and I just love this series so much you guys!

Thundery rainstorms, a group of angry moonshiners terrorising the womenfolk at the mission. Ruby Mae had gone to check on the Stallion Prince only to discover that he had escaped from the pasture he normally is kept in. Ruby sets off to find him, Christy barricades the mission, luckily the heavy downpour means the men on the front porch trying to get in to the mission head off to check on their waterside still; Christy then sets out to see what is keeping Ruby Mae as she has been gone a long time. Christy meets up with the moonshiners and is threatened by them, she explains that Ruby Mae is missing and 2 of the men including Ruby's father, set out to find her. She is located and all ends well.

These novellas are such a quick, delightful read - I learned on this one that they are adapted for "young readers," which explains why they fly so quickly.
The love triangle between Christy, David Grantland and Doctor MacNeill intensifies in this installment, though it's all told in such a straightforward way that it loses all the tension that might exist in a story written for adults. This story focuses upon Ruby Mae and her obsession with Prince, the Mission house's stallion. When she goes missing because of Prince, Christy has to go looking for her, and finds herself in danger in the process.

Love this series. Christy is getting more settled & she is starting to make a difference there. I’m a fan of Preacher David. 🥰
