Windows into the Soul:
Getting to know Sandra
Rodriguez Barron
author of Heiress of Water
Author Bio:
Sandra Rodriguez Barron was born in Puerto Rico and grew
up in
Connecticut and El Salvador. A former fund-raising professional,
she
lived in Miami for ten years and holds an MFA from Florida
International University. She now lives in Connecticut with
her husband
and young son. This is her first novel.
Praise from Isabel Allende:
"Sandra Rodriguez Barron's exuberant prose yields an immensely
entertaining reading experience. You are fraught with the certainty
that she is a gatekeeper to the secrets of the sea."
The Heiress of Water:
A Novel
When young Monica Winters Borrero loses her luminous mother
in an
accident at sea, she 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. Years later, an intriguing stranger who has endured
a
terrible loss of his own enters Monica's life, bearing an unusual
request. Monica is propelled back to her lost world, retracing
the
shadowy last days of her mother, a marine scientist who has
been on the
brink of understanding the therapeutic applications of a rare,
venomous
sea creature. Now, her research is being corrupted by a secret
clinic
that claims the power to restore consciousness to the comatose.
What
Monica discovers will shatter that family's delicate truce with
the
past, and compel everyone involved to challenge their deepest
notions
of what it means to be alive.
