Summary: "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."
