SUMMARY:Author Event: Martha Tod Dudman\, ‘Sunrise and the Real World’
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Hill Public Library and Blue Hill Books are 
 cosponsoring an author talk with Maine author Martha Tod Dudman for her new 
 novel Sunrise and the Real World on Thursday January 18 at 7pm in the 
 library's Howard Room.\n\nWhen 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.\n\nMartha Tod Dudman 
 lives in Maine and is the author of Dawn\, Expecting to Fly\, Black 
 Olives\, and Augusta\, Gone\, which was adapted as an award-winning film. 
 Dudman is a Director of the Maine Humanities Council\, a Director at Bar 
 Harbor Bank & Trust and a Selectman for the Town of Mount Desert. She was 
 President and General Manager of a group of radio stations in Ellsworth and 
 Bangor\, then worked with Gary Friedmann & Associates as a professional 
 fundraising consultant\, helping raise millions of dollars for Maine 
 nonprofits. Over the years she has served on many boards including the 
 Maine Association of Broadcasters and National Association of 
 Broadcasters\, Bangor Rotary Club\, and the Northeast Harbor 
 Library\n\nThis event will be held in the library's Howard Room\, and 
 copies of the book will be available for purchase from Blue Hill Books. For 
 more information\, please call the library at 374-5515 or email Assistant 
 Director Kayleigh Thomas at kayleigh.thomas@bhpl.net.
