Gift from the Sea: An Answer to the Conflict in Our Lives
Anne Morrow Lindbergh 1955
Special slipcased edition of this classic book of reflections by a woman whose identity often got subsumed by that of her famous husband, Charles Lindbergh. Here, "the aviator's wife" writes about what it means to be a woman, a wife, a mother, & human being, particularly in the wake of grief, loss, age, war, etc. As inspirational now as when it was first published in 1955, her words here are even more lovely as enhanced by the soft watercolor illustrations created specifically for this edition by George W. Thompson.
