This is story is about a dream and an explosion, and a girl named Patricia Hanover, but, like all important events, a lot has to happen to make these incidents relative.
Patricia had always known the dream meant something would happen and that she must just be patient. An inner voice speaks to humans in different ways.
Sometimes it speaks in dreams, and sometimes through the sound of train wheels on the iron rails. There are occasions where the wind in the leaves of a mulberry tree carried a message, * and, as in the case of Gideon, the amount of dew that moistens a woolen fleece carried the words of encouragement to him **.
The difficult thing for humans is to listen and recognize who’s talking.
*mulberry leaves II Samuel 5:24
** dew on wool fleece Judges 6: 36 to 40

Joann was born in the mountains of Arkansas in 1933, in the height of the depression, into the family of a pioneer minister. She was attracted to pencils and paper from the time she learned not to poke pencils in her eyes, and that paper did not taste particularly good.
Having an older sister who aspired to be a school teacher, she became a class of one and was expected to master reading at a very early age. Books became the magic that would transport her into another life, and she read and re-read the few that were available until they were limp scraps. It was about then that more stories began to develop within her own head, along with simple rhyming verses. This book is one of the stories.
Her father’s occupation as a minister, by necessity, put her in church several times a week, where she practically cut her teeth on a church bench, so to speak. There was the small country church that her father built and pastored for years, and later the other churches where he was called, and in that way, she became uniquely positioned to meet a lot of people on a regular basis, and appreciate the hard-working settlers who pioneered the land in America’s midwest.
