| My friend bought this 2-season series for me for my birthday! She said it's one that any Little House or Dr. Quinn fan would enjoy. Has anyone seen it? It stars Kellie Martin and Tyne Daly. I watched the Pilot last night and one episode today. So far it looks pretty good....the scenery of the Smokies is gorgeous! The show ran from 1994-1995. “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

| Oh good---I'm glad you liked it Savannah! I'm on I think the 4th or 5th episode already---LOL! It's kind of addicting! I just watched the episode where the elderly lady died at the end, singing in her bed, and her husband came to her window and held out his hand to get her. I cried so hard! That's the way I want to go, I tell ya!
I'll have to check out the books...which do you think is better, the books or the series? “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

| Cool Jacob! It sounds like it's a good series---too bad it only lasted two seasons. :sad5: It already has some Dr. Quinn similarities that I can see. Both Sully from DQ and the doctor from Christy have lost their wives and are struggling with their faith. AND they both challenge the woman they're interested in---I love that! Neither would be the character you'd necessarily 'picture' with the female lead they're falling for---the on-screen chemistry is there for both couples and I love that whole 'opposites attract' theme. Can you tell I'm all about the romance with these shows?! “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

| There's just the one book, titled Christy, and it's by Catherine Marshall. I usually can quickly decide which is better - the book or the movie/tv series....But in this case, both were excellent. Even though the series strays from the book, it stayed true to the spirit of the book. If you read it, the book will make you cry. I'd almost guarantee it. I remember, the first time I read it, I was reading along, and suddenly noticed that the pages had little spots on them....Then I realized that I was crying, but was so engrossed in what was happening that I hadn't even noticed it. She does have other books out, but they aren't a series. And I wasn't impressed with her other books. But Christy was fabulous. | |

| Wow, I guess I'll get my Kleenex ready for that one! My friend recommends it too...I'll get it from the library as soon as I'm done with the series. LOL, which isn't going to take very long at the rate I'm going! “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

| I watched this too when it aired. I also have the book. I love Kellie Martin. It was hard to go from that "Chisty" image to "Lucy" when she was on ER. She is great in any part she takes on though. She is married now and has a little girl named Maggie. It is the lack of Christianity that has brought us where we are. Not a lack of churches or religious forms but of the real thing in our hearts.

She has some movies out that I've enjoyed, too. I wish I could find more of them. They're "Mystery Woman" movies, I think from the Hallmark channel. I borrowed one and enjoyed it a lot. Another movie she did that I liked was "Hidden in Silence". It was set during WWII, and was very good. | |

| I remember Kellie Martin in Face on the Milk Carton. That was a really good movie. I wonder how many missing children have really seen their own faces on those milk cartons.?
