A delightfully candidautobiography by a western woman who spent 50years as a close follower

of Meher Baba, LoveAlone Prevails is a volume

of immense scope anddetail, unequalled by any other book aboutthe Avatar.

Miss Davy, who spent almost 20 yearsin Meher Baba's ashrams in India, has basedher narrative on her own diaries and those

of her companions. She begins her story in1931 with her initial meeting with MeherBaba, its spiritual-honeymoon atmosphereand the humorous incidents resulting froman initial ignorance of how one relates to a

Perfect Master. The book goes on todescribe with rich detail and perspective themany years of lessons learned and of lovegiven and received, finally reaching thepoint where at 90 the view backward is clear

and she can say of thetotal experience: "Wewere all too serious and

yes, heavy, but Baba tookus as we were. However,we changed as the yearswent by—spirituality and

life became one. A happy game at times, atother times a struggle."

Miss Davy's account, extraordinary inits scope, is equally charming, poignant andrefreshingly full of the cheerfulness of thetrue lover of God.
