The book was copyrighted 1986 and written by Mother Ruth, who was born Ruth Elaine Younger, in New York City in 1897. After Joining the (Anglican) Sisterhood of St John the Divine in Canada in the 1920's, she asked for a leave of absence in the late 1940's. With Sr Edith Margaret, also from the same commuinity, she became the mother foundress of the Community of the Holy Spirit and the Headmistress of St Hilda's and St Hugh's School in New York. The book tells the story, not only of those two institutions, but of others founded under her guidance: Charterhouse, Melrose, The Melrose School and St Cuthberts. At 124 pages, this is a brief history. It lists facts without much drama. It contains archival pictures of the school, the Community and a Chirstmas Pageant staged at the Cathedral of St John the Divine, among its historic snap-shots. It has an appendix of the script for the 1983 Christmas Pageant. The book will be of interest to those who knew Mother Ruth or the school or Commuinity or who are researching the history of the Episcopal Diocese of New York or Episcopal religious life.
