Description
Behind the iconic film adaptation of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" lies a story of love, magic and one remarkable woman. In 1938, Maud Gage Baum sets out to ensure that her late husband's masterpiece is brought to life on screen. Nineteen years after Frank's passing, Maud is determined to protect the spirit of his book from those who would alter it. As she listens to Judy Garland rehearse "Over the Rainbow", Maud recognizes a yearning that echoes her own life story - from her rebellious youth as a suffragette's daughter to her blossoming romance with Frank. With the young actress under pressure from the studio and her ambitious stage mother, Maud resolves to safeguard her, just as she had tried 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.
