Selections from Gift from the Sea

I really enjoyed reading the short stories in this book which are reflections on life and relationships. The author has gone on a vacation from the responsibilities of life to an island where she found quiet solutude on a beach. She finds shells and reflects on each one and how it reminds her of life and relationships in different stages. She talks about the importance of solitude and getting away from the clutter and rush of life.

This is a vintage Hallmark Edition (1955) that I'm parting with to make some room.
