I don't know where to start. So simple. No, not simple...just a beautiful simplicity to her writing. I love the way she strips away all of the BS of life and reminds you what it is to really live, and what is important. Everytime I get caught up, I just need to come back to this.
A modern woman in her day and age that can still translate to today's woman. I admire her more for who she was then.
Plus, the sea always calms me and provides me with clarity, so a good analogy for me. And she'...more

my mother, years agorecommends it for: women of all ages
I first read this book as a young woman with several children. My mother had suggested it. I recently reread it and found it just as impactful as a retired woman of 65 years. Lindbergh has such insight into being a woman and she seems so aware of the challenges of self and others in relationship. I read her daughter Reese's book about Lindbergh's last years. The circle of life--so much to think about. Dawn T. Gneiting

In some ways more meaningfully instructive about life today as when it was written. Over 50 years in print. A book to be periodically reread. The author is one of the extraordinary women of the 20th Century with many other books to her credit.

recommends it for:
any woman
This a quick read but helps put an understanding to the stages of a woman's life in one place. I will read this book over and over again. I found it humorous and enlightening all at the same time.

Amazing how one woman's words can ring true generation after generation. When life gets too complicated, reading this helps me to simplify and peel away the layers and get back to the basics.
