О премии

Премия Кристи (Christy Award) - престижная американская литературная награда за самые лучшие романы, написанные с христианским мировоззрением.

Премия была учреждена в 1999 году с целью "воспитания и поощрения творчества и качества написания художественной литературы, демонстрирующего широту и глубину всех доступных вариантов художественной литературы".

Премия названа в честь бестселлера "Кристи" ( Christy ) американской писательницы Кэтрин Маршалл (Catherine Marshall), впервые опубликованного в 1967 году и вдохновившего на создание телесериала CBS с Келли Мартин в главной роли.

Награды вручаются в нескольких номинациях.

When bright and spirited Norvia moves from the country to the city, she has to live by one new Never let anyone know you’re Ojibwe.

Growing up on Beaver Island, Grand-père told Norvia stories—stories about her ancestor Migizi, about Biboonke-o-nini the Wintermaker, about the Crane Clan and the Reindeer Clan. He sang her songs in the old language, and her grandmothers taught her to make story quilts and maple candy. On the island, Norvia was proud of her Ojibwe heritage.

Things are different in the city. Here, Norvia’s mother forces her to pretend she’s not Native at all—even to Mr. Ward, Ma’s new husband, and to Vernon, Norvia’s irritating new stepbrother. In fact, there are a lot of changes in the ten-cent movies, gleaming soda shops, speedy automobiles, ninth grade. It’s dizzying for a girl who grew up on the forested shores of Lake Michigan.

Despite the move, the upheaval, and the looming threat of world war, Norvia and her siblings—all five of them—are determined to make 1914 their best year ever. Norvia is certain that her future depends upon it... and upon her discretion.

But how can she have the best year ever if she has to hide who she truly is?

The Star That Always Stays is directly inspired by Anna Rose Johnson’s family history.
