Join us at Palatine Hills Estate Winery as we welcome author Debi Goodwin. Debi will talk about her latest book, Rains, At Times Heavy.
Through vivid landscapes and complex characters, Rains, At Times Heavy explores how one moment, chaotic and destructive as a storm, can spiral through the generations of a single family.
Wine and Words is a NOTL Public Library fundraising event hosted in collaboration with local wineries. It's an evening where the library, community, and an esteemed author come together in a very special setting. Expect an engaging talk, laid-back chats, and a chance to get your books signed.
In addition to a relaxed and intimate evening with one of our favourite guests, tickets include a glass of wine and a delicious treat.
All proceeds go to enhance library programs, services and collections.
