Bookroo's summary

Nine-year-old Hannah struggles with the plain attire of her Quaker community, feeling the pinch of her bonnet and the absence of lace. As she navigates pre-Civil War life, attending Meetings and hosting gatherings, Hannah must decide if she can find contentment and understand the deeper values of her faith. Will she reconcile her desires with her family's traditions, or will her longing for change lead her down a different path?

From the publisher

Catch a glimpse of pre-Civil War Quaker life as Hannah and her family go to Meeting and to market, host a gathering of Friends, and enjoy ice skating and other pastimes. 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?
