The Woodmont Evening Book Club will be joined by Milford author Sandra Rodriguez Barron at 7 p.m. Oct. 22 in the Woodmont Volunteer Library at 16 Dixon St.

She will discuss her novel, "The Heiress of Water," described as “a stunning parable of paradise lost and found.”

The public is invited to attend the meeting. Barron, the daughter of a Salvadoran mother and a Puerto Rican father, moved with her family from El Salvador to Connecticut to avoid the violence of El Salvador's civil war.

In her book, a young heiress who loses her luminous mother in an accident at sea, is exiled from the tropical paradise that was her home. Grieving and cut off from a life among El Salvador's elite, Monica and her American father move to Connecticut, vowing never to look back.
