All Baha'i parents face special problems in bringing up their children in a world dominated by very different principles from those governing a Baha'i society. This book meets those problems head on, as it explores human nature and the rich theme of 'the Covenant', with its implications for family and community.

The author comes from a distinguished Baha'i family and herself has a daughter.
