On p. 42 I found a bookmark. As far as my wife's grandmother got, apparently. It was a business reply card to the Doubleday Book Shop, Bishop's Corner, West Hartford, CT. (Open until 6 p.m.) With great wisdom and insight Lindbergh describes the shifting shapes of relationships and marriage, presenting a vision of life as it is lived in an enduring and evolving partnership. A groundbreaking, best-selling work when it was originally published in 1955, Gift from the Sea continues to be discovered by new generations of readers. With a new introduction by Lindbergh’s daughter Reeve, this fiftieth-anniversary edition will give those who are revisiting the book and those who are coming upon it for the first time fresh insight into the life of this remarkable woman. Gift from the Sea is a quiet book of reflections and meditations written during and after a period of time spent at the Florida seashore (on Captiva Island on the West Coast). Each chapter takes its inspiration from a different shell the author finds along the beach. The book contains Lindbergh’s thoughts on feminism, the environment, motherhood, marriage, work, love, independence, and, more broadly, how we manage our time and our lives. I also really liked how she described the different stages of marriage. My favorite quote from this read-through was: Book Genre: Autobiography, Biography, Biography Memoir, Classics, Essays, Inspirational, Memoir, Nonfiction, Philosophy, Self Help, Spirituality, WritingStill, I struggled through.

This, to me, is not a book for the extremist, the eccentric, the serious rebel, the woman who saw a path and decided to blaze off through uncharted territory,eventually caught by the briars of life on that untread path. These people do not need advice on how to find themselves, or awaken creativity.I cannot express with her ability her philosophical views on life and marriage. They are amazingly relevant still today. if you've already lived the hard life, and come through it, worse for the wear but better in soul, don't bother with Gifts From the Sea. It will probably seem like common knowledge in the form of over-elaborate metaphor to you. Additionally, as n ot everyone likes to lounge in the sun, we’ve included a couple of eco-friendly gift ideas for outdoorsy people who won’t be found on the beach:
