Read by Academy Award-winning actress Claudette Colbert
"A wise and beautiful book." - "Harper's"
A modern-day classic: here are Anne Morrow Lindbergh's elegant and wise meditations on youth and age, love and marriage, solitude, peace, and contentment, as she set them down during a brief vacation by the ocean.
She helps us to see ways to reconcile our most deeply personal needs with obligations to family, friends, lovers, and work, ways to separate loneliness from replenishing solitude, and ways to find solace in the simplest of daily tasks.
Gift from the Sea is marked by a greatest and simple wisdom, lifting listeners out of the rush and worry of daily life and opening a path to inner peace and self-realization.

Mrs. Lucky Lindy was no slouch herself: she was the first American woman to earn a first-class glider pilot's license, the first woman to win the National Geographic Society's Hubbard Medal for exploration, and a National Book Award-winning novelist. In this 1955 best seller, she discusses the challenges faced by women and offers inspiration. This 50th-anniversary edition has an intro by daughter Reeve. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
