Sharing a Book

   I just finished reading this biography about the real family behind the film and play The Sound of music

  This book was listed in an email from Amazon and at the time I bought it for my Kindle it was on sale during the holidays.

  Very little of the film is true and is why one of the children decided to write this book, but after she realized the play and film brought so much joy to it's viewers she softened on the story told. What really surprised me is that the  author noted that the song Edelweiss in the movie is Not the anthem of Austria

   This book for me, was well written and so interesting that I read the book in just a few sittings. Sadly her mother signed papers without reading and understanding so they received very little money from the film or the play.
