Series ✦ Penny’s Take
The Enchanted Barn
Grace Livingston Hill · 2022
62/100
👎 Skip It
Shirley turns a forgotten barn into a home for her struggling family in this century-old Grace Livingston Hill classic — resourceful heroine, clean romance, an ending you can see coming from page one. It's held up well enough to stay in print (and free online) for over a hundred years, but the style is unmistakably dated. Fine nostalgic comfort, not a must-buy.
