The author of this moving anthology was for twenty years the wife, companion and confidential secretary of the head of her Faith - Shoghi Efendi Rabbani, the great-grandson of Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith.
Although she had been writing poems off and on all her life, the shock and grief of the sudden passing of him who was at once the head of her Faith, as well as her own beloved husband, called forth from the depths of her heart this stream of deeply moving expressions of grief.
