Publisher's summary

Shirley Hollister is desperate. She, her ailing mother, and her four siblings are being forced out of their cramped city apartment. Where to go on her meager stenographer's salary? On a whim, she takes a trolley ride into the countryside and spies a barn: spacious, full of light, and surrounded by God's wondrous nature. Her new landlord, Sidney Graham, is intrigued by this lovely young woman and her plans to turn his abandoned barn into a home.

Famed Christian fiction author Grace Livingston Hill's tale of a plucky girl determined to better her life is full of romance and adventure as Shirley (in escapades reminiscent of Nancy Drew and The Perils of Pauline) confounds spies and embezzlers with her quick thinking and profound faith.

Heartwarming classic

Excellent narration adds much value to this uplifting classic, written in 1917 by a devout Presbyterian minister’s daughter. This adventurous tale includes kids, kittens, bunnies, chickens, gold mines, cutthroats, and...the US Secret Service. Lol! The setting is Philadelphia. Grace Hill knew that city well and accurately portrays Philly’s ubiquitous “row house” red brick apartments. There is a Christian message, as with all her books.
This book was produced as a silent b/w movie back in the day, according to the author’s biography.

Warm hearted fantasy. Not real life but fun anyway

It reminds me of being a young girl and wishing life could be this magical and good.

Enchanted describes this read to a "T"

Only Grace Livingston Hill can make a story come to life, in a way that has a kind, gentle way. She always has the Lord Jesus Christ woven within the story. The ending has Christ and His love for all involved as the story concluded that can be applied to everyday life. I do enjoy Ms. Hill's books. You will to especially if you know the Lord Jesus Christ!

Very Quaint and Sweet story.

I love this book! It's sweet and innocent and quaint. We have a hard copy from the early 1900's. Everyone just loves this fairytale love story.

Delightful Book!

I am not a religious person, and I can't figure out why I love this book so much. I think it must be that wonderful barn.
Excellent reader.
