Description
"Hasan is a thirteen-year-old boy whose mother and father have been executed for their belief in the Bahaa'ai Faith. Traumatized by this ordeal, he is brought by his uncle to his aunt's home, where he will live with his aunt's family. At first, Hasan is fearful and resentful of his new family, and he does not understand how they can be Bahaa'ais and why his parents were willing to sacrifice their lives for these beliefs. As he befriends more members of his aunt's family, however, he learns about the principles of the Faith, including the spiritual education of children, the sanctity of marriage, and the nature of God. As his relationship with his new family grows, Hasan becomes more confident and is able to heal from his past. Finally, he meets with 'Abdu'l-Bahaa, the son of Bahaa'u'llaah, the Founder of the Faith, and he embraces his new family and his new belief in the Bahaa'ai Faith"--
