Anna Sheehan
Dear Reader:
How do you come to terms with the world changing around you? That was the question I tried to answer as I wrote A LONG, LONG SLEEP. During Rose's 62 year sleep in stasis, the times had changed without her. But it isn't only time and technology that changes. The world can change in an instant, even with your own perception.
For myself, I was a miserable teenager, seemingly trapped out of time. Most of my friends were miserable too, and abuse victims as well. This book, which had at first been an exploration of the effects of a specific technology on the individual became a deeply personal exposition of love and stagnation, dreams and reality, life, death and what it means to be human. Rose is a character whose story you won't forget in a hurry.
