Rosemary for Remembrance

The paths of a sheltered girl from Brooklyn, New York, and a worldly music-loving woman from Vienna, Austria, cross and march side by side for seven years. This is the true story of Rosemary Lamour, who interrupts a guidance career to become private secretary to the Baroness Maria von Trapp of The Sound of Music fame. Her years with Maria are filled with exciting celebrities, travels and challenges—though none so challenging as the one that would her marriage, reminiscent of Maria’s, to a widower with five young children. In her 80th year, and inspired by the sad realization that she knew nothing of her own grandparents, Rosemary offers this book as a gift to her children and grandchildren, so that they may know her as a girl and young woman with hopes, dreams, joys and sorrows.
