Anne Morrow Lindbergh 1955

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.
