The Enchanted Barn by Grace Livingston Hill How is this book unique? Illustrations IncludedIn The Enchanted Barn, Shirley Hollister's family has recently encountered some very hard times. Her father just passed away, her mother is ill, and of the five siblings, only she and her younger brother bring in any money. To make matters worse, the dingy building they're been living in will be torn down soon—they need to find a new home, and move on a zero budget!

To care for her ailing mother, young stenographer Shirley finds a new home with country air. She finds a barn, owned by the family of Sidney Graham, who agrees to rent her the barn. She fixes up the barn, and moves in with her mother and brother. Shirley falls in love with Graham, but she receives word that he is engaged to another woman. Is this true, or could he actually be in love with her?

The Hollisters, a bright, spirited, wholesome family, are compelled to move into the country. After many efforts to secure a home, Shirley, eldest of the Hollisters, contrives a way out by renting a magnificent old stone barn at a ridiculously low price, transforming it into a house. The owner of the barn is not an ordinary landlord, as you will see, for he is a young man with fine ideals, and he is not content with establishing Shirley and her family in the quaintly beautiful old place, but makes the world a much happier place to live in for all of them.The Hollisters, a bright, spirited, wholesome family, are compelled to move into the country.

Shirley Hollister pushed back the hair from her hot forehead, pressed her hands wearily over tired eyes, then dropped her fingers again to the typewriter keys, and flew on with the letter she was writing. There was no one else in the inner office where she sat. Mr. Barnard, the senior member of the firm, whose stenographer she was, had stepped into the outer office for a moment with a telegram which he had just received. His absence gave Shirley a moment's respite from that feeling that she must keep strained up to meet his gaze and not let trouble show in her eyes, though a great lump was choking in her throat and the tears stung her hot eyelids and insisted on blurring her vision now and then. But it was only for an instant that she gave way. Her fingers flew on with their work, for this was an important letter, and Mr. Barnard wanted it to go in the next mail. As she wrote, a vision of her mother's white face appeared to her between the lines, the mother weak and white, with tears on her cheeks and that despairing look in her eyes. Mother hadn't been able to get up for a week. It seemed as if the cares of life were getting almost too much for her, and the warm spring days made the little brick house in the narrow street a stifling place to stay. There was only one small window in mother's room, opening against a brick wall, for they had had to rent the front room with its two windows. But, poor as it was, the little brick house had been home; and now they were not to have that long. Notice had been served that they must vacate in four weeks; for the house, in fact, the whole row of houses in which it was situated, had been sold, and was to be pulled down to make way for a big apartment-house that was to be put up.
