Synopsis

We all hope for peace and happiness in our lives. But as women living in a fast-paced world of productivity, we rarely have time to stop and listen to our inner selves, to the wants and desires we once had for our lives or to new ideas still forming within us--as abundant as the waters of the ocean, but quieted over time--into more of a whisper. A collection of treasured quotes pulled from the pages of Christine Lemmon's novels, Whisper from the Ocean, is more than a book. It's like Lemmon is handing us a pail by the seashore, filled to the rim with revitalizing pearls of womanly wisdom, glistening bits of heart and mind, and thought-provoking illuminations related to solitude and inspiration; spirituality and creativity; passion and productivity; marriage and motherhood; sacrifice and identity; contentment and joy.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

When was the last time you stood still long enough to listen to your own true voice? When was the last time you felt the calm of silence stretch across your skin? Whether you need to hear your heart's deepest needs or your soul's restless yearnings, you will find salve in Christine Lemmon's inspired and inspiring book Whisper from the Ocean.
Whisper from the Ocean gathers the most treasured quotations from Christine Lemmon's first three novels into a collection sure to provoke and soothe the meaning seekers among us. Lemmon's first novel Sanibel Scribbles shows readers how they must discover an island of their own where they can pause and reflect. Her second novel encourages readers to pick up their paddles and row out to their own Portion of the Sea that they may reclaim their heart's and soul's lost treasures. Sand in My Eyes, Lemmon's third novel, heartens transformation in those readers so overwhelmed that they can barely see the beauty around them. Now, Whisper from the Ocean brings these three novels' illuminations into one collection.

Whisper from the Ocean is like a pail sitting on your inner beach and brimming with pearls of womanly wisdom on solitude and inspiration, spirituality and creativity, sacrifice and Identity, contentment and joy. Listen, and you might hear what stirs inside.

From the Back Cover:

Inspired during Christine Lemmon's years of living on Sanibel Island, this book is like picking up a seashell and putting it to your ear, the waves going right to your heart.
