Will the dam hold?
Julie Wallace has always wanted to write. Trying to

Hola readers!
I'm taking part in the Julie Blog Tour this week, and a review will follow soon. I haven't receieved the book yet, but I can't wait to give you my thoughts. The Christy Book was always a favorite (as was the show!) when I was growing up, and impacted a big part of my life.
I didn't realize that the author had written another book, and that Christy wasn't her only novel. SO. Be on the look-out in the near future.
Be sure and check out the giveaway and other blogs on the tour!
Catherine Marshall (1914-1983), “The New York Times” best-selling author of 30 books, is best known for her novel “Christy.” Based on the life of her mother, “Christy” captured the hearts of millions and became a popular CBS television series. Around the kitchen table at Evergreen Farm, as her mother reminisced, Catherine probed for details and insights into the rugged lives of these Appalachian highlanders. Catherine shared the story of her husband, Dr. Peter Marshall, Chaplain of the United States Senate, in “A Man Called Peter.” A decade after Dr. Marshall’s untimely death, Catherine married Leonard LeSourd, Executive Editor of “Guideposts,” forging a dynamic writer-editor partnership. A beloved inspirational writer and speaker, Catherine’s enduring career spanned four decades and reached over 30 million readers.
