Editorial Review:

Product Description:


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.



Now with photographs from the original edition.

Rating: - The Trapp Family Singers
I had a copy of this book as a child and lost it so was thrilled to find it on Amazon. It's not the best quality paper, but was just fine.

Rating: - Good read
Bought it as a gift, wife said she found it interesting. Of course it had more meaning because we had been in Saltzburg.

Rating: - Inspiration Throughout
Maria comes alive as a very sincere godly woman. Devoted to her Lord, Family, Friends, and Country. To read this book was to understand a deep trust in your God, a faith beyond imagination. If you enjoyed the movie for the family values and inspiration you may have received, you will enjoy the book that inspired the movie. I will recommend this book to all of my Christian Mommy friends.
