Synopsis

“It seems to me now that fame, like disease or war, is the enemy of normal human life.” Reeve Lindbergh is the youngest daughter of Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, two of the most famous people of the twentieth century, who, ironically, both intensely cherished privacy. In her new book, Lindbergh reflects on her own “Two Lives,” navigating her role as the public face of her family while, at the same time, leading a very quiet existence in rural Vermont. After devoting years to keeping separate her “Lindbergh life” and her everyday life on her farm, she now finds herself able to make peace with her two lives. Lindbergh takes us into the National Air and Space Museum and her kitchen drawers with equal ease, discovering that the history-making items on display are, for her, like the memorabilia that most families keep in the attic. Two Lives reconciles the seemingly separate worlds of fame and privacy, even finding a “certain sweetness” when they intersect.
