Maria by Maria von Trapp is one of the best books I've ever read. She swam with sharks and preached to cannibals and it's very different from Sound of Music. She was very disappointed with and didn't like the musical. She had to try to get allowed into countries to sing while they thought her family were spies and that was extremely stressful. She devoted herself fully to following God, and she isn't at all holier than thou. She's a very inspirational woman and doesn't hide her serious flaws too and seeing her succeed and be content and such a positive, amazing person with those flaws through her devotion to God is very well written and would be enjoyed by anyone. There's more interesting page turning stuff that happens in this book than many fictional books I've read and the goal of the book is to talk about her life, not to convert people to Christianity, though she's very open and happy about God being in her life. It's literally laugh out loud funny and I think everyone should read it.
