At 17, Christy Huddleston decides to leave her comfortable life in Asheville, N.C., to teach at a mission schoolhouse in a rural Appalachian community. The school is run by strong-willed Quaker Alice Henderson, whose speech in a church inspired Christy to take this enormous leap of faith. Once in Cutter Gap, Tenn., she finds herself the object of attention from two very different men: the Rev. David Grantland, a minister from Boston, and Dr. Neil MacNeill, a Cutter Gap native struggling to bring 20th-century medicine to this backwoods community. Christy also discovers a good friend in mountain woman Fairlight Spencer.

Tom Shales Washington Post 06/25/2019
It is earnest, well intentioned, based on a beloved book by Catherine Marshall, handsomely photographed, wholesome as a tea cozy, cute as a kitten and almost unspeakably humdrum. Go to Full Review Patricia O'Connell Variety 06/25/2019
Pilot is less heavy-handed than most, thanks in part to Michael Rhodes' sure direction and Patricia Green's fine, succinct script. Go to Full Review Greg Dawson Orlando Sentinel 06/24/2019
Look, I'm all for more wholesome family fare in prime time, but sitting through the first two episodes of Christy was like being hooked up to an intravenous drip of Karo syrup. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 06/24/2019
Christy's story is as beautiful, enchanting and timeless as the region in which the show is being shot, Tennessee's Smokey Mountains. Kellie Martin... is accomplished beyond her years in the title role. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
