Helen's influence on the Bahá'í community was profound. May Maxwell, in a heartfelt letter, described Helen's spiritual radiance:

This is a well researched book by professor of history Nas Rassekh. He incorporates Baha'i history and world history into Helen's story so you have a thorough understanding of what was going on in Helen's lifetime. Helen was a dedicated and gifted speaker and teacher, and traveled the world along with many other influential Baha'is, and was the international face of the Baha'i community at the League of nations. I was inspired by her perseverence, ability to overcome hardships and tests, and her incredible love for Shoghi Effendi and the covenant.
