text: Alexandria Brown grew up in Napa and lives in the North Bay with her pet rats and ever-increasing piles of books. She has a master's degree in library and information science and an MA in U.S. history. She is a teen services librarian by day, a writer and reviewer by night and a local historian by passion. Her first book, Hidden History of Napa Valley, shares the stories of Napa's marginalized communities. Find her on Twitter (@QueenOfRats), Instagram (@bookjockeyalex) and her blog (bookjockeyalex.com).
