The Life of Anita de Caro Vieillard with Meher Baba.
By Bob Mossman.
Softcover, 460 pages.
Created after four years of research and writing, this newest book from Bob Mossman, at Oceanic Publishing highlights the 67-year love story and life of Manhattan-born Anita de Caro with Meher Baba.
Hundreds of letters between Baba and Anita are featured in Here Lies My Heart: The Life of Artist Anita de Caro Vieillard with Meher Baba. More than 200 photographs focusing on the evolving love that Anita felt through her honeymoon days with Baba in Portofino and Cannes in the thirties and evolving life thereafter.
These early wonderful days quickly darkened for Anita and her new husband Roger, with German’s march into Paris in mid-1940, and their difficult decision to remain and live in the City of Light throughout the occupation.
After Cannes in 1937, Anita, would not be in Baba’s physical company again for 15 years.
Walk through the pages of Here Lies My Heart, witnessing the tests of obedience with Baba that Anita felt and her almost seven decades with Baba. His Divine Love carried her – in her own words – through “the personal, to the impersonal, and finally to the sacred.”
