Follow along with me as we explore the wonders of the mountains through
            
             the events of a young lady's life named Christy. Christy is a nineteen year old
            
             lady who comes from a wealthy family in Asheville. Christy decides to volunteer
            
             teaching at a mission school in a small area in the mountains called Cutter Gap.
            
             Christy was amazed that her parents let her go. The next morning Christy
            
             hopped on a train to El Pano where her true journey will begin. When she
            
             reached El Pano she marched to a blacksmith and asked for his assistance on
            
             how she might get to Cutter Gap. The blacksmith pointed to a man named Ben
            
             Pentland, and he's traveling to Cutter Gap to deliver mail. When Christy asks Mr.
            
             Pentland if she can accompany him there he tells her that he's taking the whole
            
             seven-mile journey by foot. Christy hesitates at the thought of walking such a
            
             long distance but she figures it's worth it. Mr. Pentland at first refuses to let her
            
             go with him but he comes around and lets her follow him to Cutter Gap. As they
            
             are taking their long journey they strike up a conversation about what Cutter Gap
            
             is like. Before they know it they come up to the property of a man named Jeb
            
             Spencer. Mr. Pentland yells out warning them of his and Christy's presence so
            
             they wont end up being greeted with a rifle shot. Mr. Pentland has Mr. Spencer
            
             come down to introduce him and his family to Christy. While they are introducing
            
             their selves, they are interrupted by Dr MacNeill having to perform an operation,
            
             for an injured man. Dr. MacNeill is the only Doctor around for fifty miles, Jeb
            
             informs Christy. When Christy finally reached Cutter Gap she
            
             collapsed in the arms of the new minister David Grantland. The next morning
            
             Christy awakens to walk around and explore Cutter Gap. As she views the
            
             breathtaking scenery she gets filled with so much joy ...
