[Joann Nadeau · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing and comprehensive biography of a woman in the early part of The 20th century who traveled the world four times to share the teachings of the Baha’i Faith. She began her career as a newspaper reporter and used the skills learned to speak to hundreds and sometimes thousands in cities and towns worldwide. She met queens and statesmen, as well as everyday people sharing the message of peace and unity.

This is such a detailed and loving history of Martha Root. You will travel with her as she undertakes travel teaching over the Andes in Peru and many more memorable journeys. There are days when I open my copy to read specific adventures and examples of strength and faith for the smile they bring to my face, and the inspiration they give my feet...
