The news that Grandpa Joe was joining the Baha'i faith sent a shiver of joyous energy through Lila. She twirled around in her chair, the floral fabric of her skirt swirling with her. The living room suddenly felt wide open and full of possibilities.

"Does this mean you'll be teaching us all about world peace now, Grandpa?" she asked, her voice alight with animation. She pictured Grandpa Joe as a wise, storytelling figure.

Grandpa Joe, usually rather reserved, chuckled. “Perhaps.”
