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.

I am so happy that I stumbled across this wonderful old-fashioned story. If you enjoy books like Pollyanna or Anne of Green Gables, you will most likely enjoy this. The reader did a perfect job. Thank you to all of the volunteers!

a sweet love story around two wonderful families. it is a far fetched fairy tale but sometimes you just feel like reading one! some small religious undertones that blend well with the story. some unexpected excitement thrown in with dangerous plots and bad guys! a wonderful job done by the reader as well.
A story where the good and faithful triumph.

I really enjoyed this sweet story. It does have some religious undertones too it but I think it contributed to the stories quaintness. Grace Mattern who narrated the story brought the characters to life and she did a wonderful job. I thought that her New England/New York? sounding accent made the story more realistic. I recommend this for an enjoyable stress free listen. It will bring hope back to your heart.

This is my third time reading this book and I love it, ok it's a bit unreal but it's fiction and we all need a bit of escapism now and again. I love the narration as well.

Just what I was looking for, a story to get lost in but not think too hard. Picturesque in town and country this is a feel good story. Great narrator.
Wonderful story

Loved the story. It's about a family that has suffered a lot due to the death of the father and has had to readjust their life to poverty level of living, but hasn't lost their kindness to others. The oldest daughter and son has the weight of supporting the family upon their shoulders bc the mother has been very sick and has to stay in bed. Then they have to move and find another place to live. The narrator Gail Madden did a great job. I recommend this story to anyone who needs a lift in spirit and how life can change for the better if you trust in God.
a delightful and heartwarming fantasy!

the barn was rather an original idea for me considering when this was written. This was well-written and very well-read by Gail Mattern. She did different voices that added to the entertainment, such as the gangster's tough guy sound and the youngest little girl Doris's baby talk that was funny and cute. The story itself was a comforting fantasy and the characters were well-defined and likable. Although the story was quite predictable it kept my interest throughout due to the charming interactions among the various characters. Thank you to Gail for volunteering your time and talent. I hope to find more books read by her.
