Sarah was the oldest of six children. Her father worked hard to provide for the family while her mother lovingly cared for the children. They were part of the Old Order Stauffer Mennonite congregation near Hinkletown, Pennsylvania.
Sarah was too young to understand how the Great Depression and adverse circumstances had combined to impoverish her family. She took for granted the happiness and security she enjoyed in her home. When she was ten years old, tragedy struck. Her home was suddenly shattered and life forever changed.
For years, Sarah was cut off from her family. She moved from place to place, always longing for security and a home where she belonged. Every time she thought her desire was within reach, she was once more forced to move on. During her teen years, World War II spread around the globe. In a world that was so insecure, how could she even hope for security?
