| Summary |
"The Enchanted Barn" by Grace Livingston Hill is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Shirley Hollister, a young woman struggling to support her family while facing the challenge of impending homelessness due to their current residence being sold. Determined to find a solution, Shirley dreams of moving her sick mother and siblings to a beautiful, vacant barn she learns about while on an exploration outside the city. At the start of the novel, Shirley is caught up in her daily life as a stenographer while grappling with the anxieties of her family's situation. As she reflects on her mother's illness and the potential loss of their home, she decides to set off on a journey to find affordable housing. During her trip, she stumbles upon a stone barn and becomes enamored with the idea of transforming it into a sanctuary for her family. Through her explorations and encounters — including a chance meeting with the barn's owner, Sidney Graham — Shirley's resolve and tenacity illuminate her character, setting the stage for a tale filled with hope, resilience, and the pursuit of a better life.
