Behind the most famous movie ever made is a tale of love, magic and
one incredible woman Hollywood, 1938: As soon as she learns that
M-G-M is adapting her late husband's masterpiece, The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz, for the screen, Maud Gage Baum sets about trying to
visit the set. Nineteen years after Frank's passing, Maud is the
only person who can help the producers stay true to the spirit of
the book - because she's the only one left who knows its secrets...
But the moment she hears Judy Garland rehearsing the first notes of
'Over the Rainbow', Maud recognizes the yearning that defined her
own life story, from her rebellious youth as a suffragette's
daughter to her coming of age as one of the first women in the Ivy
League, from her blossoming romance with Frank to the hardscrabble
prairie years that inspired his famous work. With the young actress
under pressure from the studio as well as her ambitious stage
mother, Maud resolves to protect her - the way she tried so hard to
protect the real Dorothy. This richly imagined novel tells the
story behind The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the book that inspired the
iconic film, through the eyes of author L. Frank Baum's intrepid
wife, Maud.
