Growing Up Black in Wine Country

Produktbeschreibung

What kind of life lies ahead for the little black baby boy transported in his mother's womb to the predominantly white California wine country from the rural south? Follow along as he navigates a world unlike that of his forefathers and makes his way through a series of successes, heartbreaks and milestones that ultimately culminate into a gratifying life. Lee Pierce was born and raised in St. Helena, California, where his mother worked as a domestic and his father as a skilled laborer in the nearby vineyards, driving trucks and tractors. His family had migrated from the rural South and was one of the very few Black families in the Napa Valley. His family life was in sharp contrast to the life in which he found himself navigating while in school, also, in the part-time jobs he held to earn extra cash in his teen years. 'I learned early to do my best to assimilate in any environment and make people feel more comfortable with me.' This book is Lee's first literary effort having been told time and time again over the years that he had an amazing story to tell. Lee currently lives in Sonoma County, California with his wife of nearly 30 years. He enjoys his time with family and friends and enjoys decompressing himself at his local health club as often as possible.
