Gift From the Sea

Not the type of book your read all the way thru for pleasure; you have to read a chapter and set the book down to contemplate what it means to you. And I agree with the opening by the daughter; going forward, this is a book you bring out once a year and contemplate. Does this section help me this year? Does this section help me understand the past year better?

This was a quick book of inspiration. The author took a stroll by the sea and picked up shells then used those to craft metaphors for relationships. I wasn't much in the mood for inspiration and thinking, so I gave it four stars. But I can see myself picking this up when I'm in a more introspective mood and upping it to 5.
