Just as Good the Second Time

First written in 1955, this book was written on a brief solo vacation by the author. Amazingly the author used the imagery of shells as a symbol of the different stages in a woman's life. The author composed some meditations for the various stages of life: youth, aging, love, marriage, solitude, peace and contentment. Especially memorable was a section of "simplifying one's life", and to take to to reconcile our personal needs without feeling guilty about doing something for us.

For those of you who are not familiar with this lovely book, the author was a mother, and wife to pilot Charles Lindbergh. Although the book was first written some 55 years ago, the message is still important to today's modern woman It is important to finds personal fulfillment in life. You must find the right balance and inner peace within yourself, before you can share those qualities with others.

This little gem of a book should be read by every woman trying who tires to do everything for everyone. This is my second time reading this book. Highly Recommended

It changed my life

I read this book more than 50 years ago and it changed my life. I was desperately unhappy and it opened up for me a way to change. I found 'a room of my own' -- a career, or better still, a calling. It gave me the strength and determination to leave my unhappy marriage and to start life anew with, ultimately, a new partner, my husband now of almost 50 years.

A Beautiful Read

This is a beautifully written book. I received it as a gift and purchased it as a gift. It's simple but profound.

modern-day classic. "Gift from the Sea is like a shell itself in its small and perfect form . . . It tells of light and life and love and the security that lies at the heart."--New York Times Book Review.
