Anne Morrow Lindbergh was remarkably ahead of her time by advocating for simplicity in life. We could relate to the feelings that modern day conveniences lead us to be even more busy, and unfocused on the important things in life.
Our Book Club members felt that we could all relate to the shells in each chapter, and the accompanying stage of life. I especially liked the Moon Shell chapter that encourages solitude at points in our lives. Lindbergh encourages readers to “relearn to be alone.” It is truly good for the soul, and to refresh yourself for the demands from other relationships.
