'Exactly the novel we need right here, right now' TAYARI JONES

'Astonishing' JODI PICOULT

'Triumphant' ELLE
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
Nikki Berry hasn't seen her estranged grandmother Rita in years - until an unexpected phone call summons her to the hills of North Carolina. There, Nikki learns the astonishing truth of her family's past: her formerly enslaved ancestor Luella was the queen of a now vanished American Kingdom.

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.©2025 Dolen Perkins-Valdez (P)2025 Random House Audio
