A woman learns the astonishing truth of her family's ties to a vanished American Kingdom in this riveting new novel from the bestselling and award-winning author of Take My Hand

The Kingdom of the Happy Land sounds like a fairytale. But beneath its legend, family secrets lie buried deep in the hills . . .
Now, Nikki must protect her family's legacy before - like so much else - it is stolen away.

Recenzii
What a story! Happy Land is an exhilarating tale of perseverance, identity, and love that echoes across generations. This story of formerly enslaved families in the Blue Ridge Mountains who built a community against all odds will stay with me for a long time
Picture a time when a kingdom existed inside the confines of the Carolinas - a time when freedpeople were royalty. What if that was your history, instead of the trauma of enslavement and generational poverty? As Dolen Perkins-Valdez says in this astonishing, historical-based novel - a family tree isn't just something you draw on paper. It's only when you're rooted in the soil that your family once inhabited that your imagination can brush the sky
