Risk-averse event planner Amerie Price is jobless, newly single, and about to lose her apartment. With no choice but to gamble on her shaky start-up, the last thing she needed was to run into her smug ex and his new, less complicated girlfriend at Amerie's favorite coffee shop.

Dieses Buch erzählt von Menschen, deren grenzenlose Liebe das ganze Dasein umfasste. Sie hatten Freude am Leben und gönnten das auch allen anderen Menschen, nein allen Lebewesen. Die Realität ihres Alltags war aber eine völlig andere. So sehnten sie sich nach einem neuen geistigen Horizont, nach einer geistigen Heimat. Jeder von ihnen fand auf seine Art den Weg zu einer neuen, zeitgemäßen Weltanschauung, zum Baháí-Glauben. Dieser Glauben faszinierte sie, weil er Frieden unter Menschen, Völkern, Nationen und Religionen lehrt, ihn als den Geist einer neuen Zeit ankündigt und Liebe, Gerechtigkeit und die Besserung der Welt zu realisieren versucht. Eine ganzheitliche und weltumfassende materielle und geistige Erziehung und Bildung werden in diesem Glauben als wirksames Mittel zur Verwirklichung der organischen Einheit der Menschheit angesehen. Seine administrative Ordnung ist dabei entscheidend für die Bündelung der konstruktiven Bemühungen der am Friedensprozess beteiligten Baháí und ihrer Freunde. Bei allem Einsatz für Frieden und Menschlichkeit war das Leben der Menschen, von denen dieses Buch berichtet, nicht frei von Kämpfen und Schicksalsschlägen, von Prüfungen und Herausforderungen. Aber für sie war Gott der Ursprung aller Liebe, Güte, Schönheit und Wahrheit. Sie empfingen ihre Kraft von Ihm, liebten Ihn und strahlten diese Liebe aus. Sie blieben bis zum Ende ihres Lebens ihren hohen Idealen treu und wurden so zu leuchtenden Fackelträgern der Liebe Gottes, einer Liebe, die sich in ihrem selbstlosen Dienst an der Menschheit zeigte.
