Blooming at the Texas Sunrise Motel begins with young Stevie on a Greyhound bus heading off to live with a grandfather she doesn’t know. Tragedy has recently struck her life and she must now start over at her grandfather’s run-down motel in Texas. The mix of wonderful characters at the motel help to ease Stevie's transition to this new life, but does this grandfather she doesn’t know at all actually want her there? Stevie's first person narrative allows the reader to jump right into her struggle as she tries to find a sense of belonging during a time of unbelievable grief.   (Vermont DCF Award nominee, 2018-2019)
