This vivid and touching account of a young girl's pilgrimage to Haifa in the Autumn of 1913 includes delightful pen-portraits of 'Abdu'l-Baha and the Greatest Holy Leaf. Born into one of the earliest and most illustrious Baha'i families, Rúhá Asdáq was the daughter of Ibn-i-Asdáq, one of the four Hands of the Cause appointed by Baha'u'llah. She was just sixteen years old when she had the unforgettable experience of going on pilgrimage with her family and meeting 'Abdu'l-Baha. Many will be charmed by this vignette, not only for its lively evocation of the rigours of travel in the early years of the century, but also for the freshness and spiritual eagerness of youth which permeates its pages.
