   Summary: Timeless wisdom for all women
My grandmother gave this to my mother. When I was in my mid thirties, my mother passed it on to me. Originally written in 1955, Anne Morrow Lindberg has captured a timeless understanding of the stages of life that women experience. Using the metaphor of the shells she finds on the beach one summer, Lindberg provides insight on topics like love, marriage, motherhood, the loss of identity, the subtlety of living and finding meaning in even the smallest events of life. Outstanding! Since I don't have a daughter to whom to pass this on, I only hope I can convince as many women as possible to obtain their own copy--or two: one to underline and keep on their nightstand, another to pass on to their best friend, mother or daughter.

This short little book makes a great gift to any women in your life. It is my favorite nonfiction book. I highly recommend it.

   Summary: A beautiful, ageless book of insight
My mother had loaned me her 20th anniversary edition of this book and i was completely struck by it. I was thrilled to see Amazon offered it and had a 50th anniversary edition! I ordered four copies for my friends and they were all delighted (they read them on our recent trip to the beach!) The entire book was gorgeous with a silver foil emboss and rich deckled thick paper on the inside.
This book is for all women and is one that could be and should be read every year to reevaluate your stage in life.
I absolutely recommend this book!

   Summary: Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I first listened to this book on CD and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It is pretty much just the musings of a wife and mother about her life and relationship with her family. She talks about her need for alone time, simplification of her life, and her marriage. I read it quite a while ago and I still reflect upon insights from the book. I would highly recommend that everyone take a chance to read this book. It's not long, but it is truly a gem.

   Summary: The Beach - Before, During and After
Anne Morrow Lindbergh (AML) originally wrote these words only for herself, her own processing, her own experience of the cycles of life, of love, of friendship, of feelings. I am grateful she expanded her reach with these words to include any of us who care to take a brief break from our everyday routines to read this slim, very accessible volume.

A couple surprises - I found this title in the Christian Inspiration section of the bookstore. I had previously read "War Within and War Without" in which I discovered Anne Morrow Lindbergh didn't regularly attend church. I had thought she was one of those "iconic" Christian writers - instead in these pages I discovered a woman who deeply knows the tenets of the Bible and uses them, integrates them in her life without being preachy about it.

That is a good way to sum up the entire tone of the book - using metaphors from the Ocean itself, AML opens her own heart - and ours - to an entirely new way of seeing. Her writing voice is clear, concise. She says absolutely everything that needs to be said and nothing more.

Her writing is like the perfectly sized meal. Satisfied, not satiated, with plenty of space to breathe, converse and make new discoveries about the entire experience.

In the closing chapter, written for a new edition of the book twenty years later, AML writes of being "astonished" about the impact of this volume "written to work out my own problems" was still being read and appreciated by so many readers - and continuing for another generation... and now, continuing still to future generations.

AML's daughter, Reeve, also scribes a heartfelt introduction for this fiftieth anniversary edition which allows us another view into the life of the woman who left these words for us, more than fifty years ago... yet feel as if they could have been written five minutes ago.

This book makes me hungry for more. I now have two AML books under my heart. I will now read more, as well as books by her children. (One note that probably means nothing else to any of you, but the copyright was reissued in 2003 by four of her children. My heart literally leaped in reading those familiar names. I actually exclaimed "Land! Jon!" outloud. And then, "Where is (daughter) little Anne?"

That is what the writing of Anne Morrow Lindbergh does, in a nutshell. She makes you care, not only about her and her life, but about life itself.
