Looking to put a little Sunshine in your reading? The best way to do that is to order a copy of her acclaimed novel!
Award-winning author Sunshine O’Donnell has gotten a lot of good ink for her premier novel, Open Me, published this past June by MacAdam/Cage Publishing. She’s been written up in last issues of Poets & Writers Magazine and Glimmer Train and has enjoyed standing ovations at book readings, and has a pretty cool website to boot.
Open Me is a well-written literary set within the secret society of professional mourners in which women are trained to cry at the funerals of strangers — and well paid for their efforts. The central character is a young girl at the center of this unusual world.
If you’d like to learn more about the novel and the author, visit Sunshine’s website. You can read excerpts, learn about upcoming readings, and even order copies of the book.
