Summary: A "must-read" for women who are revitalized by the ocean.
Review: This book is an excellent source of strength and support to women who love the sand, sea and surf. What is so very amazing is that I have read it 4 times over the last 20 years and have found parts of it to apply to each stage of my life making a comparison to the types of shells that litter the beach.

Summary: Every Woman
Review: This book was given to me by a family friend after the birth of my first child. My initial thought was "like I have time to read", but I put it on my nightstand. Finally, when the baby began sleeping through the night, I would read a few pages before turning in myself.What a soul-refresher this little whisp of a book turned out to be! I had to look a few times at the author's name, and the date the book was first published, to convince myself it was really THAT Lindberg and THAT old. But everything she says, and she says it so beautifully and poetically (even given the circumstances of her own life)holds true today - and most likely as long as women exist on this earth. Sometimes it is hard for women to do for themselves because they are trying so hard to do for so many others. This time, take the time for yourself, and read this book.

Summary: Gift from the Sea
Review: This book, like no other, has me constantly reading and re-reading it's pages. I, too, am in love with the ocean and am in search for solitude. To get away and reflect on the world around me and the world within me. Although I am unable to achieve this wonderful form of solitude in real life,I am able to when reading this book. Having been born the year after it was first published, it amazes me how relevant "Gift from the Sea" still is. The relationships, feelings, and insights all hit home.

Summary: A very unique work!
Review: This little book is highly enjoyable. It is a unique form of self-help book. It doesn't bombard you with endless words about this or that problem (alcoholism, codependency, self-esteem, etc.) but gives the reader the desire to return to the basics of life. Isak Dineson wrote "the answer to everything is salt water: sweat, tears, and the ocean." In those quiet moments of life, a simple act of contemplation on the basic objects around us can be so rewarding, so freeing. This is what Anne Morrow Lindbergh does in this little book. It is as much a book about prayer, as it is about the lives and issues of women. I am proof that one need not be a woman to enjoy this book. I enjoyed Lindbergh's ability to touch the numinous in so few words, to shift quickly in her meditation between the tangible reality and the intangible truth contained therein. I recommend this book to anyone (but especially a woman, Lindbergh's audience) who wants to understand just what at the core of one's life is truly important.
