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.©2025 Dolen Perkins-Valdez Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Kraliyet Literary Fiction Medical Women's Fiction Mutluluk

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 (Charmaine Wilkerson, New York Times bestselling author of BLACK CAKE)
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 (Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of BY ANY OTHER NAME)

Happyland was an interesting read, upsetting at times given its themes around slavery and the impact of Eyres Law. I liked the characters, especially Louella’s story. Kept me engaged and wanting to hear more of her life and what she experienced.
