I neglected to read this classic for too many years. It's based on the author's mother's experience as a teacher at a mission school in Appalachia. It can be very heavy-handed with Christy & pastor David's "saving" the local people, but it's also a product of its time. I love the doctor's character and his understanding that you can use science and still respect the people and their traditions.
