Publisher's summary

Oscar Hammerstein is asked to write the lyrics to a musical based on the life of Maria von Trapp: a novice nun sent to teach a widowed baron's sickly child. What should have been a ten-month assignment, however, unexpectedly turned into a marriage proposal. And when the family fled their home to escape the Nazis, it was Maria who instructed them on how to survive using the power of their voices. It's an inspirational story with big Broadway potential. Yet much of Maria's life will have to be reinvented for THE SOUND OF MUSIC.

When Maria sees the script that is supposedly based on her life, she becomes so incensed that she sets off to confront Hammerstein in person. Told that he's busy, she is asked to express her concerns to his secretary Fran instead. The pair strike up an unlikely friendship as Maria tells Fran about her life.
