A few years ago (actually in 2003!) a friend in our book club gave us all a Christmas gift of one of her favorite books, "A Gift from the Sea", by Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Although this book was first published in 1955, it is amazing how current it is.
This has become my favorite book about life at the beach, but more so, about life in general. I have read it countless times. My daughter has now read it countless times. I have given this treasure as a gift countless times. If you have never read it, pick it up. Very concise reading, but, oh, so enlightening. When my daughter went away to college, she wanted her own copy to have whenever she felt like picking it up. It is one of those books. You can read a chapter here or a chapter there over and over again.
On so many occasions, I have tucked this book into a beach tote or slipped it under one of my favorite beach hats, and given this as a special gift to my beach-loving friends.
A timeless classic "Gift from the Sea".
