The book that changed your life:
Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s The Gift By the Sea and her volumes of journals inspired my nature-related writing and journaling. The book For Those I Loved by Martin Gray, a Holocaust survivor, taught me as a high school student about sustaining loss in life and surviving through it. I remember its impact well, forty years later.
