Inspirational by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Blurb

Gift from the Sea is a book by Anne Morrow Lindbergh first published in 1955.
While on vacation on Florida's Captiva Island in the early 1950s, Lindbergh wrote this essay-style work taking shells on the beach for inspiration, and reflecting on the lives of Americans, particularly American women, in the mid-twentieth century. She shares her meditations on youth and age; love and marriage; peace, solitude and contentment during her visit.
Sometimes classified as inspirational literature, the book presages many of the themes in that genre of popular literature: simplicity, solitude and caring for the soul. Gift from the Sea has sold over 3 million copies and has been translated into 45 languages.
According to Publishers Weekly, the book was the number one non-fiction bestseller in the United States for 1955.
