From the publisher, “When Lorraine, a recent college graduate, starts work at a residential treatment center for troubled teens, she quickly finds herself absorbed into a world very distant from the idyllic lobsters-and-lighthouses fairy tale she had always associated with Maine. Instead, she discovers a landscape of abused and angry teenagers, illicit romance, and danger. Still, she grows to love the place and its people until events shatter her confidence in the world and her own morality. Years later, disheartened and battered by life, Lorraine is unexpectedly drawn back to that world to confront the person she was, the choices she made, and the bitter ghosts that still haunt her. In Sunrise and the Real World, Martha Tod Dudman has penned a taut and spellbinding coming-of-age novel that will stay with you long into the night.”
Martha Tod Dudman’s previous books include Expecting to Fly, Black Olives, and Augusta, Gone which was adapted into an award-winning Lifetime movie. Dudman was born in St. Louis, Missouri and raised in Washington, D.C. She moved to Maine in 1975 and currently calls Northeast Harbor home.
