Book

Twelve public libraries throughout the region and White Birch Books are pleased to announce that this year the featured book for the 2024 One Book One Valley community read program will be The Road to Dalton by Shannon Bowring.

Book description from the publisher:

It’s 1990 in Dalton, Maine. As in most small towns, the private is also public. When one of Dalton’s own makes an unthinkable decision, the community is left reeling. In the aftermath, their problems, both small and large, reveal a deeper understanding of the lives of their neighbors, and remind us that no one is exactly who you think they are.
