The New York Times best-selling book Christy by Catherine Marshall celebrates its 50th anniversary. Catherine Marshall, best known for Christy, is the New York Times best-selling author of 30 books. The novel, based on the life of her mother, was once required reading for middle school children in the public school system.

My guest, to talk about Christy, is Nancy LeSourd, the daughter-in-law of Catherine Marshall. LeSourd has her own story that we delve into of growing up in Atlanta during the turbulent civil rights era of the 1960’s. The podcast is definitely about strong women, but encouraging to anyone wanting to make a difference in the world. Nancy LeSourd also serves as publisher for Evergreen Farm, an imprint of Gilead Publishing.

We not only mention Christy, but also the Liberty Letters, a great Christmas gift for young girls. You can also find Christy: The Complete Series here.
