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.
