Families today are bombarded with so much sadness and trauma in the news that it makes one wonder:

How do we guide and teach our children healthy coping skills and to live happily through, and with, difficulties?

Fayette County resident Linda Ratto, Ed.M., author and educator, launches the second edition of “Where Dreams Come True,” a fictional account of indomitable young Sarah in 19th-century Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The book, learning guide and CD set provides us with an illuminating story about surmounting a physical disability. In “Where Dreams Come True,” an early chapter book for ages 8 and up, Sarah and her Amish family use innovation with courage to achieve Sarah’s pursuit of an independent life.

Depicting the Amish culture of the 1800s, with close to 200,000 books sold globally, “Where Dreams Come True” is written on an average newspaper reading level. It contains an elementary German glossary to bring the reader closer to early American-German life.
