We are going to Need More Wine

We are going to need more wine is a sparkling book that collects amusing and heartbreaking stories from the life of actress Union (Being Mary Jane). After moving with her family from Omaha, Neb., to Pleasanton, Calif., in grade school, Union grappled with being black in a predominately white student population and attempted to assimilate and gain peer approval by being the class clown. At 19, a stranger raped her at gunpoint; for a year afterward she barely left the house. In time, she began to heal, pursuing modeling and acting, attending college, and getting married.
