Suddenly Real

By: Mark Roeder

Narrated by: LaMont Ridgell

Bud Thomas falls asleep in 1955 and awakens in 21st century Hollywood. How is it even possible? Bud is confused and overwhelmed until he meets Braxton, a streetwise boy, who guides him and keeps him safe. Just when Bud thinks he’s growing accustomed to life in the future, he comes face to face with his own past in The Paley Center. Why are items from his home, photos of his family and his own clothes on display? He’s never heard of The Bert Rogers Show, but he sees himself on the screen during a presentation of clips from the old series. The mystery deepens when he meets Adam Bluestone, the actor who played Bud Thomas on TV decades ago, an actor who doesn’t seem at all surprised to meet Bud.
