Introduction Part Four: A Better Plan from Elm Springs

"A Better Plan from Elm Springs" centers on the Denken family — Franz, Lena and Max who are initially content with the traditions and daily rhythms of their Elm Spring community. But Lena's adventurous little sister Jane introduces new and exciting ideas to the Denkens — ideas about a better way of living and working. Eventually she is able to convince them to go, recognizing that the opportunity comes at a risk.
