"...a spell had been broken, the spell over us that made me dread everything and fell that nothing would go right after this. The spell was broken by this real, tangible, perfect baby, coming into an imperfect world and coming out of the teeth of sorrow-miracle.
​My faith had been reborn."
-Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 1932

Following the birth of the Lindbergh’s second son, in 1932, Charles
​entreated the press:
"Mrs. Lindbergh and I have made our home in New Jersey. It is naturally our wish to continue to live there near our friends and interests. Obviously, however, it is impossible for us to subject the life of our second son to the publicity which we feel was in large measure responsible for the death of our first. We feel that our children have a right to grow up normally with other children. continued publicity will make this impossible. I am appealing to the press to permit our children to lead lives of normal Americans."
The plea had no effect and the Lindbergh's exiled themselves to England, hoping to escape the unrelenting public.

Growing up lindbergh
"I think there was some lingering fear, perhaps from the kidnapping. I was told not to identify myself on the telephone unless I was certain who the caller was. I was told to mumble my surname in introductions."
