Following My Heart Memoirs of a Persian Lassie

Born to a Muslim father and a Baha'i mother, as a child Nooshin was deeply affected by how prejudice was tearing her relatives apart. Determined to seek the truth about the existence of God and the meaning of religion; she took off on a life-shaping journey at the age of sixteen to India in the early 50's and ultimately to Edinburgh in Scotland. Her memoirs are a testament to the power of faith and her relentless devotion to serve humanity. Her writing takes the reader back to a time where innocence and goodness where the norm in life. Refreshing reading in these challenging times filled with reflections on cultural and religious differences; the oneness of God, religions, world and humanity as told through rays of light and joyful whimsy. Reader caveat: there are many references throughout the book about the Baha'i Faith which can only translate through a more comprehensive knowledge of the religion.
