A fascinating look at what its like to grow up in front of and beyond the cameras. --Eve PlumbFor nine seasons; Mary McDonough was part of one of the most beloved families in television history. Just ten years-old when she was cast as the pretty; wholesome middle child Erin; Mary grew up on the set of The Waltons; alternately embracing and rebelling against her good-girl onscreen persona. Now; as the first cast member to write about her experiences on the classic series; she candidly recounts the joys and challenges of growing up Walton--from her overnight transformation from a normal kid in a working class; Irish Catholic family; to a Hollywood child star; to the personal challenges that led her to take on a new role as an activist for womens body image issues. Touching; funny; sometimes heartbreaking; and always illuminating; Lessons from the Mountain is the story of everything Mary McDonough learned on her journey over--and beyond--that famous mountain. "For someone who started out as a sweet little girl afraid to speak up; it certainly is a pleasure to hear her shout from the top of the mountain now! --Alison Arngrim; New York Times bestselling author of Confessions of a Prairie Bitch"Shes a radiant woman whose truth comes from within. . .if I had to pick one word that described Mary Beth; it would be resilience." --Earl Hamner; Creator of The Waltons"Mary is a whole lot more than Erin on The Waltons. This book shows how shes handled all the highs and lows with grace." ndash;George Clooney Includes Never Before Published Bonus Chapter!

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good Christmas material for any size groupBy Jim Ziegler "Zig"The Yamaha method books have been on the market for some time. but I find them to be quite good. especially this collection of Christmas songs in three parts. This is a nice collection of tunes. which includes the usual favorites ( Silent Night. Hark The Herald Angels Sing ). as well as some rarely played but great melodies ( Lo. How A Rose and In The Bleak Mid Winter ). The flexible scoring makes them easy to use as duets. trios. or with mixed ensembles of various instrumentation. which I tend to have in my teaching situation. The print quality is excellent. making them easy to read. There is also a good variety in key signature use as well.
