Silent Superstitions

Christy #2

by C. Archer (Adapter), Catherine Marshall

The old woman glared at Christy with fury in her eyes: "You brought the curse with you, girl!" that's what Granny O'Teale said. And everybody in the Cove seemed to believe it was true - their new school teacher, nineteen-year-old Christy Huddleston, was cursed.

After all, who could explain Bob Allen's mysterious accident on his way to bring Christy to Cutter Gap? Or the lightning strike that sent a tree through the school window. . . Or the sudden appearance of a sleek raven soaring around Christy?

Granny is determined to drive Christy out of Cutter Gap forever. Will fear and superstition triumph? Or, will Christy overcome, and win the hearts of the mountain people?

I'm enjoying this shorter volumes of the classic.

Enjoyed the audiobook which I've listened to on Scribd.

For readers of all ages who enjoy Christy by Catherine Marshall, this expanded series comes in 12 easy to read books with lots of action and dialog. This is second book in the series and approaches the superstitions the town holds against their new school teacher, who appears to be cursed.

[C.A. Gray · Rating 4 out of 5]

The conflict in this one is that a great granny in Cutter Gap, threatened by the new teacher, spreads rumors after a series of mishaps that she is cursed. She convinces the children to stay away from school or else to wear a smelly concoction of herbs around their necks to ward off Christy's "curse." Christy almost leaves Cutter Gap over it, convinced that she will never manage to break through to the people... but a heartwarming simple turn of events changes her mind.

WOW

The twist and turns of life's journeys is a humbling learning experience to say the least. Christy learns so many life lessons from the people and children that she came to teach. Together nothing is impossible
