Synopsis:
Since its world premiere on Broadway in 1959, The Sound of Music has captivated millions of people around the world. After it was turned into an Oscar-winning movie, the singing von Trapp family became household names in America. While many know about their heroic resistance to Nazism and their narrow escape from German-occupied Austria, few are familiar with the true story behind the musical.
In this New Vision Book, the dramatic history of Maria von Trapp and her musical family comes to life for young readers. Based on her best-selling autobiographies and a memoir by one of her daughters, this novel is part epic adventure and part spiritual testimony to God''s faithfulness.
Beginning with her birth on a train and the loss of her parents, and ending with her vital role at the family-run lodge in Vermont, this story shows how Maria learned to trust God at every difficult step in her life and to see his guiding and protecting presence at every turn.
