Father has just died. Mother is extremely ill. The house they have been renting will be demolished shortly. As the eldest of five children it is Shirley’s responsibility to ensure that a new home is provided. How is she to do that? Because of a death in the firm, Shirley is given a half day off and she, perhaps unwisely, uses it to take a ride to the country hoping that a home will just appear. Yet the most peaceful spot she finds is at a barn. She falls in love and decides that it must do – at least, if she can get the owner to rent it.
