Join the conversation with Julie Carrick Dalton, author of Waiting for the Night Song. This debut novel, what the author calls “climate fiction,” explores the vagaries of friendship, and is a love song to the natural world, a call to fight for what we believe in, and a reminder that the truth will always rise. Julie will be introduced on Zoom by Be Well Be Here founder, Lara Wilson.
