LAKEPORT – Local author Diane Arruda will have a “meet and greet” this weekend at Watershed Books in Lakeport.

The event will take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 20.

Arruda, of Lakeport, recently published her new children's book, “The Undiscovered River.”

The book centers on the adventures of Golden Fish, who has a dream of a beautiful undiscovered river that she feels must be a true place but is somewhere far beyond the Great Pool where she lives.

Golden Fish's journey is full of adventure and suspense. When Golden Fish finally passes through the tunnel leading into the Undiscovered River, she meets up with the most unusual water creatures unlike ones she has ever seen. One of these unique creatures guides her downriver to meet the Magnificent Whirlpool.

On this first journey, Golden Fish learns about the five Living Codes, Codes that are not written but are feelings of awareness about the things all around her. These wonderful Codes are hidden on pathways somewhere in the Undiscovered River but can only be found by true believers and dreamers such as Golden Fish.

“The Undiscovered River” is the first book in Arruda's Dream River Adventure Series, which invites the reader into the beginning of unexpected pools of understanding encountered by Golden Fish.
