Now in paperback, the sixth and final collection of Anne Morrow
Lindbergh's journals and letters.
In this collection, which takes us from 1947 to 1986, we mark Mrs.
Lindbergh's progress as she navigated a remarkable life and a
remarkable century with enthusiasm and delight, humor and wit,
sorrow and bewilderment, but above all devoted to finding the
essential truth in life's experiences through a hard-won
spirituality and a passion for literature.
Between the inevitable squalls of life with her beloved but elusive
husband, the aviator Charles A. Lindbergh, she shepherded their
five children through whooping cough, horned toads, fiances, the
Vietnam War, and their own personal tragedies. She researched and
wrote many books and articles on issues ranging from the condition
of Europe after World War II to the meaning of marriage to the
launch of "Apollo 8. "She published one of the most beloved books
of inspiration of all time, "Gift from the Sea." She left
penetrating accounts of meetings with such luminaries as John and
Jacqueline Kennedy, Thornton Wilder, Enrico Fermi, Leland and Slim
Hayward, and the Frank Lloyd Wrights. And she found time to compose
extraordinarily insightful and moving letters of consolation to
friends and to others whose losses touched her deeply.
More than any previous books by or about Anne Morrow Lindbergh,
"Against Wind and Tide" makes us privy to the demons that plagued
this fairy-tale bride, and introduces us to some of the people--men
as well as women--who provided solace as she braved the tides of
time and aging, war and politics, birth and death. Here is an
eloquent and often startling collection of writings from one of the
most admired women of our time.
(With 8 pages of black-and-white photographs.)
