Christy (Lauren Lee Smith) and the rest of the Cutter Gap community are just beginning to recover from a typhoid epidemic when a storm hits the rural alcove. In A New Beginning, the second of a two-part PAX production that began with A Change of Seasons, she gets stranded in the forest with Dr. MacNeill (Stewart Finlay-McLennan), and her fiancé David (James Waterston) risks life and limb to rescue her. Despite a loss of property, the town makes it through the storm relatively intact, but many have been changed by the experience. Christy, for instance, has come to see Dr. MacNeill in a new light, thus questioning her engagement to David. Will she marry the preacher or break off the engagement? Marriage is on the minds of several characters in this engaging recollection by the elderly Christy about her experiences as a young schoolteacher in the Smoky Mountains. Age 8 and older. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Christy
I was so excited to get this movie because I loved the TV show. I watched it once and I will never watch it again. It was like watching a bad home made movie and don't get me started on the acting!
Rating:  - Great Family Entertainment
Great family series of life at the turn of the century with the hardships and trials of a rural setting. Romantic involvements and everyday problems are addressed.
Rating: - Not Very Good...
I have to agree with some of the other reviews on here, these movies were not very good. It actually hurt to watch them. The actors who relaced Fairlight, David, and Miss Alice are just not very good at all. I REALLY wish I would not have bought them. Stuart Finlay-McLennan is the ONLY reason that I bought these, to see how the love story ended. I should have stuck with the book, which the ending is enough for me now.
Rating: - great movie!
I loved the series and the movies. If you loved the series you have to see this movie.
Rating: - Wonderful end!
I loved the original Christy series and just had to buy the DVD set. I remembered seeing the movies they made years later on TV so I just had to get them too to finish the collection. Out of all them, A New Beginning is the best. I think Lauren Lee Smith is a much better Christy than Kellie Martin. Smith's appearance is more what I imagine Christy to look like and she had much more chemistry and presence with her two male suitors. Although Randall Batinkoff was superb and fantastic as Rev.
