Rockefeller， Sr.In this first full-length study of Anne Morrow Lindbergh， Susan Hertog pierces the public image of Anne and Charles to reveal their story from inside the marriage， and gives us a true understanding of the author of the bestselling classic The Gift from the Sea. While biographies of Charles Lindbergh have captured his spirit as the twentieth century s first international celebrity， Susan Hertog plumbs the depths of Anne Lindbergh s search for her own identity and vision as she struggles to remain faithful to her marriage and to motherhood.Anne Morrow， the daughter of the American ambassador to Mexico， came of age in the rarefied society of international business and politics. Shy and sensitive， yet rebellious and ambitious， she cultivated her independence and creativity at Smith College. In 1929， at the age of twenty-three， she married the already famous aviator Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. Charles was the mirror to Anne s own ambition and her way out of a conventional straitlaced home. As hungry for life and adventurous as he， she harnessed his fame and his courage to become a groundbreaking aviator and writer. The tragic kidnapping and murder of their infant son became the price Anne paid for her marriage to a hero， and the catalyst for her passionate commitment to her family and to her work.Illuminated by nearly five years of interviews with Anne Morrow Lindbergh， this book offers valuable insights into her thoughts on her life and writing. And it is the work that may finally unravel the mystery of Charles Lindbergh s entanglements in the German Reich， which threatened to destroy Charles and Anne s faltering marriage.Anne Morrow Lindbergh is not only the story of a brilliant writer who probed the heart of womanhood， it is the anatomy of a marriage--the journey of a young bride who overcame the pressures of fame， personal tragedy， and social constraint to find answers that continue to illuminate the lives of women today.
