OUR FIRST BOOK IS HAPPY LAND!

Inspired by true events, Happy Land is a transporting multigenerational novel about the stories that shape us and the dazzling courage it takes to dream.

It sounds like the makings of a fairy tale — royalty among a community of freed people in the hills of North Carolina. But the more Nikki learns about the Kingdom of Happy Land, and the lives of those who dwelled in the ruins she discovers in the woods, the more she realizes how  much of her identity and her family’s secrets are wrapped up in these hills. Because this land is their legacy, and it will be up to her to protect it before it, like so much else, is stolen away. (Penguin Random)
