"Martha Wenger loved dearly the beautiful Pennsylvania countryside where she had been born, and where her family had lived for so many years. But changes were taking place in the Amish colony, and some of the people of her faith wanted to move to another place where land was cheaper, and where farms could be provided for all the sons in the family. It was at her friend Katie's house that Martha had the dream which told her of a new barn that was to be raised- and sure enough, the dream came true, for the Wengers sold their Lancaster County farm and moved to the new colony in Maryland."

Summary
"One dread hung over Martha, the fear that the little schoolhouse which she hoped to attend would be closed, and she would be forced to attend the large school which was not an Amish school, and where the beloved Teacher, who had visited them, did not teach. This delightful story of Martha's school written by a woman who lived long among the Amish people presents an authentic picture of these sturdy peace-loving farmers who are one of our finest types of Americans."
