“Ms. Carrick Dalton awed the audience by relating the real-life event that inspired her to write her remarkable novel and then continued to explain her take on “climate fiction,” explaining that she’s often called to talk on the subject and even teaches college classes on this theme. Carrick Dalton was honest, humble, and at times humorous… In short, Carrick Dalton was a warm, inspirational, and delightful guest.” — Rowan College of South Jersey, 2024

“Smart and searingly passionate…an illuminating snapshot of nature, betrayal, and sacrifices set in the evocative New Hampshire wilderness.” — Kim Michele Richardson, bestselling author of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek

“Dalton’s debut is a story of friendship, family, and the consequences of acting out of fear, especially when those actions are performed to protect those we love. The storytelling is made even more vivid by the way the novel practically breathes the woods of New Hampshire.” — Booklist

“Stirring…a taut novel that builds suspense to the very end.” — Publishers Weekly

“Dalton writes thoughtfully and poetically about a place clearly close to her own New Hampshire–based heart. Cadie and Daniela’s interrupted friendship forms the core of the novel, and Dalton captures that best-friend bond so intensely forged in youth. Through vivid and emotional imagery, Waiting for the Night Song speaks to the power that a place and its people can have over your life.” —BookPage
