Maria A. Trapp

FROM SARAH:

I've lost count of the number of people who have told me this book is one of their all-time favorites! I have yet to read it, but I'm always up for an excuse to cozy up and watch The Sound of Music.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

With nearly 1,500 Broadway performances, six Tony Awards, more than three million albums sold, and five Academy Awards, The Sound of Music, based on the lives of Maria, the baron, and their singing children, is as familiar to most of us as our own family history. But much about the real-life woman and her family was left untold.

Here, Baroness Maria Augusta Trapp tells in her own beautiful, simple words the extraordinary story of her romance with the baron, their escape from Nazi-occupied Austria, and their life in America.
