“My recommendation is ‘The Road to Dalton.‘ This is a beautifully written book about love, loss, and community, in a setting that will feel familiar to anyone who grew up in a small, rural town. The characters are written with a loving honesty, and feel achingly real. There is sadness and pain, but also hope and joy. I just can’t recommend it enough.” — ELIZABETH MURPHY, Portland
