Classic 1960s musical starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. Former nun Maria (Andrews) becomes the governess for a family of seven children who live in the shadow of their domineering and repressed widower father Captain Von Trapp (Plummer). Along with the required discipline Maria brings love, music and excitement into the children's lives and also eventually begins to have an effect on their father. But just when things are looking up, the rise of Nazism and the threat of the coming war darkens all their futures. The cast also includes Charmian Carr, Nicholas Hammond and Eleanor Parker.

A memoir of a Navy Wife during her early life and during the thirty years of active service.

Life and its mysteries are the subject of Peggy Woods' profound and thoughtful poetry collection, Ramblings From a Soul. Beautifully written and nuanced, Ramblings From a Soul explores the ways we connect (and don't connect), even as it urges us to examine the deeper moments of life. Woods has a real artist's eye, using images that are fresh, haunting, and completely unique to present a worldview that touches us to our very souls. Both deeply personal and touchingly universal, Ramblings From the Soul presents a stellar collection that honors the spirit and inspires the soul.

Despite Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and pervasive discrimination, a substantial number of African Americans entered the middle class before World War I. This was a life - little known to outsiders - of college graduations, formal weddings, and singing around the piano in the parlor. Peggy Wood was born into such a world in 1912. Her memoir is a parting of the curtains that kept much of this world from view. For this reason, ""Something Must Be Done"" belongs on the shelf alongside Sarah and Elizabeth Delaney's 1993 classic ""Having Our Say"".
