The Proposal

Based on Marshall's book Christy, this latest installment of the Christy series follows the popular TV adaptation that aired in 1995. In this episode, the handsome minister, David Grantland, proposes to schoolteacher Christy. Before she can decide whether to accept, she is blinded in a boating accident. Christy must wait some time before her eyes heal enough for her to tell whether the blindness will be permanent. As she waits, she must decide about marriage to David, whether she can still teach school and just what the future may hold for her. This is a delightful novel about an independent young woman making sound decisions about life and ministry under difficult circumstances. Ages 12-up. (Apr.)
