Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember during high school reading the novel "Christy," written by Catherine Marshall, but that does not mean that I would need to discuss anything of a personal nature with the various mountain people described, assuming that the characters were ever based on any real person dead or living. It was a great novel in spite of its dark moments, but anyway it was only fiction. Do I really have to remind those fictional characters that fiction has it s place in a library?
