- Synopsis
- Characterizing his book as "a story of the struggle for the soul of a place," journalist Deutschman describes the social conflict between the wealthy elite residents of Napa valley of Northern California and the "bohemians" of neighboring Sonoma valley, worried that their communities are in danger of becoming the playground of the rich as well. Unabashedly taking the side of the rural bohemians, he explores the eruption of a grassroots political movement in Sonoma that attempted to take over local government with the intention of keeping out the McMansions and development that characterizes Napa.
