by Todd, Anna
The Last Sunrise is a heavy, deeply felt exploration of what happens when the foundation of your world suddenly gives way. It follows a protagonist forced to confront the harsh realities of family secrets and the quiet, painful process of growing up before you are ready. The pacing is deliberate and intimate, mirroring the internal shift of a character who is shedding their innocence to survive.
