I found a 1955 printing of this book in an old waterfront cabin and was struck by the care with which the previous owner had read it. Eve (the name inscribed inside the front cover and then again above the heading for chapter 3) made pencil marks on nearly every paragraph of the book, underlining a phrase, highlighting many passages with strong vertical marks, scratching out some words that she seems to have found superfluous and even x-ing out whole sections that apparently missed their mark with her altogether. Two rusting paper clips isolate several pages, absent any marking at all. Anne Morrow Lindbergh's lyrical words are still relevant and presage so many of the themes of today's most popular books: simplicity, peaceful solitude, caring for the soul, a woman finding her place in society and life. I heard that the woman who had lived in the cabin had actually passed away some time before. Thank you, Eve, for your gift... from the sea.

Book Description

In this inimitable, beloved classic—graceful, lucid and lyrical—Anne Morrow Lindbergh shares her meditations on youth and age; love and marriage; peace, solitude and contentment as she set them down during a brief vacation by the sea. Drawing inspiration from the shells on the shore, Lindbergh’s musings on the shape of a woman’s life bring new understanding to both men and women at any stage of life. A mother of five, an acclaimed writer and a pioneering aviator, Lindbergh casts an unsentimental eye on the trappings of modernity that threaten to overwhelm us: the time-saving gadgets that complicate rather than simplify, the multiple commitments that take us from our families. And by recording her thoughts during a brief escape from everyday demands, she helps readers find a space for contemplation and creativity within their own lives.

With great wisdom and insight Lindbergh describes the shifting shapes of relationships and marriage, presenting a vision of life as it is lived in an enduring and evolving partnership. A groundbreaking, best-selling work when it was originally published in 1955, Gift from the Sea continues to be discovered by new generations of readers. With a new introduction by Lindbergh’s daughter Reeve, this fiftieth-anniversary edition will give those who are revisiting the book and those who are coming upon it for the first time fresh insight into the life of this remarkable woman.

The sea and the beach are elements that have been woven throughout Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s life. She spent her childhood summers with her family on a Maine island. After her marriage to Charles Lindbergh in 1929, she accompanied him on his survey flights around the North Atlantic to launch the first transoceanic airlines. The Lindberghs eventually established a permanent home on the Connecticut coast, where they lived quietly, wrote books and raised their family.

After the children left home for lives of their own, the Lindberghs traveled extensively to Africa and the Pacific for environmental research. For
several years they lived on the island of Maui in Hawaii, where Charles Lindbergh died in 1974.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh spent her final years in her Connecticut home, continuing her writing projects and enjoying visits from her children and grand-children. She died on February 7, 2001, at the age
of ninety-four.

Reeve Lindbergh is the author of many books for both adults and children, including the memoirs Under a Wing and No More Words.

5 out of 5 stars A beautiful book........2007-08-17

I found an original print of this book, and have loved every single page. She just gets it.

5 out of 5 stars Timeless wisdom for all women.......2007-08-07

My grandmother gave this to my mother. When I was in my mid thirties, my mother passed it on to me. Originally written in 1955, Anne Morrow Lindberg has captured a timeless understanding of the stages of life that women experience. Using the metaphor of the shells she finds on the beach one summer, Lindberg provides insight on topics like love, marriage, motherhood, the loss of identity, the subtlety of living and finding meaning in even the smallest events of life. Outstanding! Since I don't have a daughter to whom to pass this on, I only hope I can convince as many women as possible to obtain their own copy--or two: one to underline and keep on their nightstand, another to pass on to their best friend, mother or daughter.

5 out of 5 stars What a beautiful book.......2007-08-05

This short little book makes a great gift to any women in your life. It is my favorite nonfiction book. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars A beautiful, ageless book of insight.......2007-07-23

My mother had loaned me her 20th anniversary edition of this book and i was completely struck by it. I was thrilled to see Amazon offered it and had a 50th anniversary edition! I ordered four copies for my friends and they were all delighted (they read them on our recent trip to the beach!) The entire book was gorgeous with a silver foil emboss and rich deckled thick paper on the inside.
This book is for all women and is one that could be and should be read every year to reevaluate your stage in life.
I absolutely recommend this book!

5 out of 5 stars Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh.......2007-07-11

I first listened to this book on CD and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It is pretty much just the musings of a wife and mother about her life and relationship with her family. She talks about her need for alone time, simplification of her life, and her marriage. I read it quite a while ago and I still reflect upon insights from the book. I would highly recommend that everyone take a chance to read this book. It's not long, but it is truly a gem.

This little book is perfect for taking the quiet moment we all need ~each and every day. I carry mine in my purse so it will be handy whenever needed. Think I first ordered one for myself; then, twelve for my colleagues; now, six more copies for Christmas gifts!I believe one copy for everyone would be ideal!

5 out of 5 stars The Journey Home.......2007-01-15

I was guided to the parent book "Gift From the Sea" at a time when my life was falling apart. Sometimes just having the shells when beach living is impossible at the time make all the difference between living and dying. "Wisdom From Gift from the Sea" goes everywhere with me and I use it often - the perfect pocketsized lifeline. I further recommend "Return to the Sea: Reflections on Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gifts from the Sea" by Anne M. Johnson as a companion read to both books.

Book Description

In 1955, Anne Morrow Lindbergh published her timeless book of reflections, Gift from the Sea. This perennial favorite used the metaphor of seashells to explore the inner spiritual path, gently guiding readers to practice simplifying, quieting, shedding, and centering in a too-frantic world. Two generations later, in a far more fast-paced world, Anne M. Johnson asks women to discover the beauty and meaning of Lindbergh's timeless "shells" all over again. In Return to the Sea, she uses experiences from her own spiritual journey — as a busy mother, career woman, and therapist — to offer a renewed vision of ways to create intentional space in our lives for personal and spiritual growth. Shell illustrations, along with centering exercises, meditations, and journal-writing exercises, enhance each chapter's reflections on Lindbergh's original "shell" passages. Readers who loved Gift from the Sea the first time — and women who have yet to be introduced — welcome these reflections in a beautiful new gift edition.

I just can't say enough how wonderful this book is.

2 out of 5 stars A Disappointment.......2000-03-22

This attempt to extend a masterpiece of poetic philosophizing on matters a woman ponders at mid-life is a whiney and disappointing series of personal complaints in the self-congratulatory self-pity mode followed by trite self-help suggestions at the end of each chapter.

5 out of 5 stars I love it and want two copies in French to give as gifts!.......1999-07-20

This is a wonderful midlife (or early life) book for women! Is it available in French?

5 out of 5 stars A good journaling companion!.......1998-12-15

Anne Johnson has given the reader a great gift. This book is an excellent companion for the journaling soul. Written with a warm, insightful and sensitive voice, not unlike Lindbergh's in Gift From the Sea.

5 out of 5 stars This book is a lovely companion to Gift From the Sea.......1998-09-21

Reading this book is like having a wonderful, personal conversation with the author. It is also a wonderful companion to Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gift From The Sea. I'm always amazed when I read and re-read Gift From the Sea that Mrs. Lindbergh and I (a 41 yr old housewife) could have so many feelings and thoughts in common. Anne Johnson shows us that we are all connected in our thoughts and feelings. Through wonderful, common, everyday experiences Anne Johnson shows us that we can Return to the Sea and feel present in the moment. I know millions of women have read, loved and taken Gift From the Sea to heart, and I'm sure many will do the same with Return to the Sea.

Book Description

Quila MacFarlane is devastated by the death of her mother, especially now that it’s just her and her father on Devils Rock where her father is the lighthouse keeper. They can’t leave and almost no one ever comes to visit them. But the morning after a storm, something floats ashore that changes their lives forever: Two small mattresses strapped together, and inside, a baby! They name her Cecelia, which means “a gift from the sea,” and call her Celia. She makes them a family again–and helps heal the hurt left by Quila’s mother’s passing. Two years later, though, another stranger arrives, one who changes everything all over again: A woman named Margaret, come looking for the final resting place of her sister, whose ship had gone down in a storm two years before. Her sister’s baby had never been found, either, she explains, and now she has no family of her own. Could this be Celia’s aunt? Will Quila have to give up Celia so Margaret can have her own family back? This is a gripping tale full of love, loss, and healing. Natalie Kinsey-Warnock is the author of many wonderful books for young readers.

Such a beautiful story of a little girl. Both boys and girls in my class enjoyed this book. Nominated for Massachusetts Children's Book Award for 2006-07.

4 out of 5 stars Shannon's Book Review.......2006-11-22

I read a good book titled Gifts form the Sea by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock. It is a realistic fiction book set in the 1850's of the coast of Maine at a lighthouse on Devil's Rock.
The main characters in this story were Quila, Papa and Cecelia (Celia for short). Quila and Papa Mackinnon take care of Cecelia who they found in between two mattresses tied together. Cecelia means "a gift from the sea" so this name fits her perfectly. Quila is really sad, because her mother had just died, so Cecelia seems to fill in the hole that was left by Quila's mom. Two years later, the sea brings another gift but this one may tear a hole in Quila's heart and new family.
My favorite part of the book was when Quila helped heal a bird that had crashed into they're lighthouse. This was my favorite part because it shows how much Quila really cares about nature, and other living things.
I really liked this book because everything was connected in the story, and this made it easy to understand.
I would recommend this book to people who like the ocean and like good connections. I would recommend this book to people of all ages because it really was an enjoyable book.

5 out of 5 stars Maye's Gifts from the Sea Review.......2006-11-20

I read a great Nutmeg book called Gifts From the Sea, by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock. The story takes place at a lighthouse on Devils Rock near Maine.

Gifts From the Sea is about a girl named Aquila Jane MacKinnon who is 12 years old and lives in the Devils Rock lighthouse with her father. Aquila had a mom who had just recently died and was still in mourning. When a baby is found in the sea they name her Cecelia, it means a gift from the sea.

The problem occurs when a lady came to Devils rock to mourn for her sister who had a boat crash 2 years ago. That was when Cecelia was found. Aquila and her father struggle to tell the woman the truth about Cecelia. But when they do.....

My favorite part of the story is when the author explains how much the baby lifts their hearts and help them to not be to sad about Aquila's mother. This part just shows how much fun babies can be, and how much work they can be.

I like this book and would give it 5 stars even though it was kind of an easy read, but it was still a wonderful book. I would recommend this to all young readers, from 3rd grade to 5th grade. Anybody can read it, but if you are older, it might be a little easy.

3 out of 5 stars Anna's Review.......2006-11-20

Gifts From the Sea by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock takes place at Maine's coastline. It is set in the 1840's at Devil's Rock lighthouse.

Quila, Papa and Celia are the main characters in this book. Quila's mother just died so she is really sad and her father is very quiet. One day when Quila is exploring the beach she sees a two mattresses tied together floating on the water. In between the two mattresses is a little baby who they name Cecelia (Celia for short). Celia fills most of the hole left in Quila's heart from her mother's death. Two years after Quila found Celia the ocean brings something that could tear Quila's heart and new family apart once again.

I don't really have a favorite part in this book. One of the parts that I did like though was when Quila told Celia her favorite story so that she would go to sleep. I liked this part because the story that she told her had many details and it was very interesting.

I think that this book was okay. It was a very quick read and the start of the book wasn't very exciting. Also I think that I would much rather read a book about the story that Quila told Celia than this actual book. I would recommend this book to younger people because I think that they would enjoy it a lot more. I think one reason that I didn't like this book was because it was under my reading level.

5 out of 5 stars Gifts from the Sea.......2006-11-20

I read a fantastic book titled Gifts from the Sea, by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock. It's a sorrowful book that takes place in 1854-1856 on an island in Maine.
This book is about a twelve-year-old girl named Quila MacKinnon, who lives with her father and mother on Devils Rock. Her father is the lighthouse keeper so they live in the lighthouse, and can't leave it unattended. One day, Quila's mother gets very sick, but the father can't get help for he's not allowed to leave his job. After the death of Quila's mother, Quila is left with doing all the work, and her father, who has now lost his love, will never play another note on his fiddle again.
Quila's life is very lonely until one day after a huge storm Quila finds two mattresses strapped together wash up on shore, and inside a baby! This baby changes her and her fathers' life dramatically, and heals their broken hearts from the past. They name her Cecelia meaning "A gift from the sea", but call her Celia for short.
The main problem occurs in this book when two years later the sea brings another gift of a family member of Celia's, which may take Celia away. Quila has to find a way to stop this member of taking her only happiness.
I found this book very sad, but fulfilling too. This book moved my heart, and made me see how unlucky some people are. My favorite part of this book was when Quila's father start's playing the fiddle again. This was my favorite part because it made me feel glad that Quila's father finally stopped moping about his wife's death.
I think that Celia really grew on Quila, and helped her get by her mother's passing. I'd give this book 5 stars because it may be short, but the author did a fantastic job on making me want to read more.

Book Description

"Banks and Hallensleben make beautiful books together." -- American Bookseller

A boy picks up a rock that he finds on the beach. He holds it in his hand, and admires it. He doesn't know that the rock has been on a great journey through time in making its way to him: that it was spewed forth from a fiery volcano, then altered by eons of wind and rain, frozen during the ice age, and finally carried out into the ocean, where it lay on the floor of the sea before being thrust onto the shore at his feet. But he does know that it is a gift from the sea.

Kate Banks and Georg Hallensleben combine their talents to tell a story that is as wonderfully simple as it is profound.

5 out of 5 stars Profund book of depth and meaning, Glorious colour.......2004-11-27

One day at the sea a boy finds a rock. Just a rock, but he liked it and considered it a gift from the sea. He takes it home and we get to see through the descriptions of the author and the paintings from the artist(Georg Hallensleben)the fascinating history of the humble rock.

After exploding out of a fiery volcano and witnessing the dinosaurs, being submerged in an ice cap, used as a cave, and
"centuries of rain and wind
had worn away the rock,
changing it's shape and form"
and so on
"or that by the light of a full moon,
the rock had been thrust onto the beach

But when the boy held the rock in his hand
and felt it's warmth, he knew that it was
a gift from the sea. "

Exploring the transmutations of humble objects we would think no further on,I think this book would appeal to all philosophers youthful or aged.

The painted illustrations are in full and glorious colour, exploding onto the page & filling every corner, imbuing this profund book with a depth and meaning rarely explored.

As a final footnote, I would heartily recommend this book for purchasing.

    I have been re-reading Gift From The Sea every year or so since I was sixteen. I will never let go of it, and often give it as a gift to other women. It reminds me to keep things simple and pay attention to what's important in life. This book is beautifully written, and for me, it just gets better with time. It is a quick read, but the author's thoughts may linger and continue to inspire you.

It is not until he pulls off the ultimate stunt that she realizes that no mink coat, car, house or any amount of money is worth her peace of mind.

From the baby daddy drama, to the backstabbing friends, to the various unforgettable men she sorts through and disposes of.

          There will be times she has to struggle and scramble just to make ends meet, and other times when she will stand tall and hold her own.

          In this captivating tale, Tressa's voyage will expose readers to a side of a struggling single mother that has yet to be revealed to them

          Nikki Turner, the best selling author of A Hustler's Wife, once again will take readers on a safari through the jungle of the fierce and stormy streets, leaving readers on the edge of their seats begging for an encore.

          This book was recommended by my daughters friend (teenagers) I was thinking to myself what does she know about picking books, I really enjoyed this book. The book keeps it real for the PJ's, this is a page turner and was off the hook!!! I can't believe I almost passed this up.

          5 out of 5 stars Chicks with game.......2007-09-07

          I like nikki writing but some of her stuff is weak but the Project Chick was tight, the ending was great and it leave a way to do A Project Chick 2
          that's waht make formgood reading and will keep us as loyal readers. As a man I felt sorry for the women in this story but what can I say black women must wise up to the brothers that don't have there best intrest.
          The story was so close to home I thought I new her.(:.

          4 out of 5 stars From Rags to Riches To so much More!!.......2007-08-13

          I really enjoyed reading this book(even though i'm kind of late) I really admired Tressa's character and the way she handled herself throughout the book. she never gave up and continued to be a great mother towards her children no matter how rough things had gotten for her.I kind of predicted the out come with Indie and thought it was funny how Lucky got done in the end. The book would have been better with an epilogue cause I would liked to have known what happened to some of the other characters but overall this was a great read and worth your money!!!

          5 out of 5 stars HOT!.......2007-08-13

          I read this book a long time ago! I truly enjoyed every minute of it.

          5 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS BOOK.......2007-03-02

          I loved this book! This was a one day read, because once I started I couldn't stop. I really enjoyed this book. To me, A Project Chick was much better than A Hustler's Wife, but I like everything I read by Nikki Turner. This book was not predictable, which is a quality in fiction that I like, because you do anticipate. I reccommend this book to others, if you are looking for ghetto urban fictional drama, then you made a good choice in reading A Project Chick, A++++

          Book Description

          Chicks On Speed (COS) are Melissa Logan (from New York), Kiki Moorse (Munich), and Alex Murray-Leslie (Bowral, Australia). They're a band, a clothing label, a website, a record label, a design team, and a 21st-century phenomenon. This, their first publication, aims to capture their sense of freedom and spontaneity. Each page is crafted and designed in their own handwriting. The book is divided into periods of their lives: "Fake Band," "Pressing the Press," "Sell Out," and so on. Die-cut, over-printed, and assembled from many different paper stocks, this book approximates a COS scrapbook, full of press clippings, personal mementos, printed ephemera, and free merchandise.

          The three members of COS met at art school in Munich and then moved to Berlin, where they reinvented themselves as Chicks On Speed, a girl-power collective. From providing a raunchy, cover-version soundtrack to parties and gigs, to customizing visitors' clothing at exhibitions (Fondation Cartier), to posing with Karl Lagerfeld for the cover of their latest album, the Chicks have invaded the worlds of fashion and music with their endearing do-it-yourself aesthetic and good-time vibe.

          5 out of 5 stars Egg-cellent!!!.......2004-03-03

          Yes, if you're a fan at all, it's a must-have! Just one of those things y'know! The price isn't all that steep considering all the freebies that you get as well.. Let's see... a CD fulla live tracks and early recordings, a pattern for the COS overall, a FAKE poster that's folded in an insane manner, a one of two style garment, either a 'dress' or this other overall thingy... I didn't open it. I'm a guy so I wouldn't wear it in the first place, and of course, the tote itself.

          It's a suweet deal.. and the book is pretty amazing... The content of course, but the way the book was cut, it's one of a kind. All jagged on all sides, every section of the book is cut in a different manner. Funky and fun.

          So that's the scoop of this book. Get it and enjoy. Like the chix said: "F*ck art, let's craft!" ...and indeed they did.
