Abstract
Cadie Kessler has spent decades trying to cover up one truth.
One moment. But deep down, didn't she always know her secret would surface? An urgent
message from her long-estranged best friend Daniela Garcia brings
Cadie, now a forestry researcher, back to her childhood home. There, Cadie and
Daniela are forced to face a dark secret that ended both their idyllic
childhood bond and the magical summer that takes up more space in Cadie's
memory then all her other years combined.
Now grown
up, bound by long-held oaths, and faced
with truths she does not wish to see, Cadie must decide what she is willing to
sacrifice to protect the people and the forest she loves, as drought,
foreclosures, and wildfire spark tensions between displaced migrant farm
workers and locals. Waiting for the Night Song is a love song to the
natural beauty around us, a call to fight for what we believe in, and a
reminder that the truth will always rise. (author’s website)
