Will she reconcile her desires with her family's traditions, or will her longing for change lead her down a different path?

Nine-year-old Hannah finds it hard to wear a plain bonnet that pinches her ears and a plain dress with no lace! Will Hannah ever understand the value of plain dress and learn to be content as a Friend?
