No Contest: A Decade of Contest-Winning Stories from Redwood Writers

Delight yourself in this intriguing mix of stories from Sonoma County, California. Take in glimpses of little-known history: the Sebastopol temple that became a touchstone for the Japanese community here before and after World War II; the pioneering women's rights advocate who fought the forced retirement at age 32 of airline stewardesses; the county's lone lesbian bar in the early 1980s; and the daring race car driver and aviator who made the nation's first airmail flight here in 1911. This anthology from award winning local writers includes nearly 50 works of nonfiction, fiction and poetry. Each piece is set in a wondrous land of rugged coastline, river valleys, hillside vineyards, and redwood forests. And each tells a distinctly Sonoma story: the crestfallen young grape grower who learned his land wasn't right for the "King" of the vines; author Jack London’s dream to develop a new kind of farming operation in the Valley of the Moon; and the Santa Rosa ice skating rink where early morning practitioners could routinely catch a glimpse of “Peanuts” comic strip creator Charles Schulz.

The forty-four works of fiction and memoir contained in this anthology all reflect the volume’s theme and title, “Endeavor: Stories of Struggle and Perseverance." Each story provides an uplifting example of how the human spirit can prevail against all that nature, man and circumstances can throw against it. Sometimes mundane, but often exalted, the difficulties, hardships, and conflicts experienced by the protagonists of the stories are an inspiration to us all.
