Happy Land by Dolen Perkins-Valdez
Nikki returns to North Carolina at the summons of her estranged grandmother, Mother Rita, who shares the story of their ancestors’ mountain settlement — a community of formerly enslaved people who called their home the Kingdom of the Happy Land. As Nikki learns about Queen Luella and the family land that has shaped generations, she must reckon with her identity and what it will take to protect that legacy.
