I wish many Friends would read this pamphlet and that we could talk with each other about ways that young Friends today could have opportunities in service that are as transformational in their lives as the year 1921 was in Rebecca's life. She was struggling to follow the Light and to be true to herself in a time and place where her choices really mattered. As I read it, I kept thinking of a quotation by Oliver Wendell Homes, Jr.: "Through our great good fortune, in our youth, our hearts were touched by fire." Rebecca lived to be 103 and did much that was good and important in her life, but the story of this one year at the beginning of it all is wonderful in its own right.
