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,...

Meh

This is supposedly a self-help classic, but I wouldn't want to turn to it in a time of need. The writing is schlocky and the book is full of vague generalizations without concrete examples. I was looking for a passage to use as a reading in my wedding ceremony, having seen excerpts of this book...

Great short read. Ahead of its time given it was writtem in 1955. Great book for women to help understand there role in life, not so much for men.

A Joy Forever

What more can be said about this lovely collection of thoughts? Even as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is as fresh as the day it was penned. This book is a keeper if ever there was one, a volume to be read and re-read and handed down to one's children, which is what I intend to do with...

A Gift for Your Mom...

Listed as a 'summer read' in a local magazine list - I hadn't heard of this book. I picked it up and finished it from one afternoon into the next morning. And -- there was nothing surprising or new to be found here in the book - the pace at which its written and the uncomplicated natural way...

A Few Shells

What timeless wisdom there is in this little book. Although it was written many decades ago, the challenges and issues faced by Anne Morrow Lindbergh are the same ones faced by women in today's crazy, bustling world. In fact, although women in Siberia, Cameroon, or Ceylon might not have her...

Hardly touching

This book came very highly recommended by two friends who are avid book readers. However I hate to admit that the book did not move me as much as my friends claimed that it moved them. I was more interested about the background references to the author's personal life and how the book came into...
