Rosalinda Fitzroy has been asleep for sixty-two years when she is woken by a kiss. Locked away in the chemically induced slumber of a stasis tube in a forgotten sub-basement, sixteen-year-old Rose slept straight through the Dark Times that killed millions and utterly changed the world she knew. Now her parents and her first love are long dead, and Rose -- hailed upon her awakening as the long-lost heir to an interplanetary empire -- is thrust alone into a future in which she is viewed as either a freak or a threat. Desperate to put the past behind her and adapt to her new world, Rose finds herself drawn to the boy who kissed her awake, hoping that he can help her to start fresh. But when a deadly danger jeopardizes her fragile new existance, Rose must face the ghosts of her past with open eyes -- or be left without any future at all. Review Its satisfying to see Rose grow stronger mentally and emotionally, ready to tackle her demons.Dont count on getting to sleep early once you pick up this book. -- The Yankton Daily Press & Dakotan From the Author This book came about when I realized that the world didnt stop when Sleeping Beauty was put to sleep. What would have happened while she slept? She would have had to come to terms with a whole new world the moment she opened her eyes. Once I had that concept, this particular book just fell out of me, almost whole. If only they were all so easy. About the Author Anna Sheehan lives on a small ranch in rural Oregon with her daughter, several Irish Wolfhounds, and a milk cow. A Long, Long Sleep is her first novel.
