What happens

Christy is an American period drama series that aired on CBS from April 1994 to August 1995 for 20 episodes. Christy was based on the 1967 novel Christy by Catherine Marshall, the widow of Senate chaplain Peter Marshall. Inspired by the experiences of the author's mother, the novel was a bestseller in 1968, and the week following the debut of the TV movie and program, the novel jumped from number 120 up to number 15 on the USA Today bestseller list. Series regular Tyne Daly won an Emmy Award for her work on the series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
