A Rare Vintage: Growing Up Black in Wine Country

By Lee J. Pierce

Lee Pierce's debut book takes readers from the vineyards and prune orchards of beautiful Napa County to a history-making seat on the dais of Santa Rosa's governing body. Santa Rosa is the largest city between San Francisco and Portland, Oregon. Following his graduation from St. Helena High School, Lee and a few of his classmates were called to army duty to be sent to the raging Vietnam war. As Lee's story continues to unfold, readers will note that his journey is ripe with an array of memorable and colorful characters who come to life on the pages. Pierce's story is a series of poignant moments and cultural revelations that will entertain, sometimes sadden, and ultimately inspire readers.
