The book pictured above is the book I have and it states that Mrs. Lindbergh location was on an island in the state of Maine. I could relate so well as that is where I am also from and I know the beauty of the coast there. However, I just picked up the 50th anniversary edition as a gift for my friend's birthday. Mrs. Lindbergh's daughter Reeve does the Forward in the beginning of the book and indicates that her mother wrote the book while in Captiva in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. I was so surprised and disappointed and it makes no sense. Can anyone out there shed some light on why the same book would claim to be written in two entirely different places?

I not sure if it was the same author but it sounds so much, in fact exactly the same as "Gift from the Sea". What a inspiration and i know that today i am here to say this because of this book, it gave me the strength and inspiration to take time out for "Me". I live by those rules.

Actually, I listened to it on audio and wanted to go back and read the hard copy book so I could highlight all the wonderful passages. Haven't done that yet! Needless to say, it's a wonderful book and one I'll read over and over again. The audio is quite good, too. I read this just about a year ago, but never got around to posting a review.

It also makes a great gift and a welcome addition to any library. It's a book to be read and reread as often as possible.
