SUMMARY:Concord Festival of Authors: Julie Carrick Dalton\, author of The Forest Becomes Her
DESCRIPTION:Join author Julie Carrick Dalton for a discussion of her new book The Forest Become Her. This event is part of the 2026 Concord Festival of Authors. \n“In historic\, bucolic Concord\, Massachusetts\, a centuries-old forest has been removed to make way for a new\, eco-friendly housing development. The locals are upset by the destruction\, but out-of-towners like Hazel Stoddard are flocking to put down roots in their new guilt-free dream homes. Soon a tragedy leaves Hazel unmoored in her new life\, and she begins to feel the pull of the absent forest. Hazel is not alone—her neighbors\, real estate agent Stella Flint and teenage environmentalist Polly Bauer\, each have their own traumas and their own relationship to the land. The three women are drawn together to save the last remaining oak tree\, or they risk losing themselves to lingering shadows that only they can see.” In The Forest Becomes Her\, Julie Carrick Dalton brings hope and reverence to this lush celebration of multigenerational female relationships\, the ever-evolving female form\, humanity’s connection to our changing world\, and the mysteries that still exist in nature. \nAuthor Bio: Julie Carrick Dalton is the author of The Forest Becomes Her\, The Last Beekeeper\, and Waiting for the Night Song. She is the winner of the New Hampshire Book Awards’ People’s Choice for Best Novel\, and was a finalist for the Massachusetts Book Award\, the Siskiyou Prize for New Environmental Literature\, and the ASLE Book Award. Her novels have been named to Most Anticipated lists from CNN\, Newsweek\, USA Today\, Parade\, and others\, and were selected as an Amazon Editor’s Pick for Best Book of the Month. A former organic farmer\, forest manager\, and beekeeper\, and a TEDx speaker\, she is a frequent speaker on the topic of fiction in the age of climate crisis at universities\, museums\, and conferences\, nationally and internationally. She currently serves on the teaching faculty of Drexel University’s Creative Writing MFA program and is a frequent guest lecturer at Harvard. When she isn’t reading or writing\, you can probably find Julie kayaking\, skiing\, swimming\, gardening\, or trying to track down her four children and two dogs. \nFor more information\, please visit https://juliecarrickdalton.com/ \nFor more information on the Concord Festival of Authors\, please visit www.concordfestivalofauthors.org.
