by Vanessa Miller In 1869 a kingdom rose in the South. And Louella
was its queen. Over the twenty-four years she was enslaved on the
Montgomery Plantation, Louella learned to feel one thing: hate.
Hate for the man who sold her mother. Hate for the overseer who
left her daddy to hang from a noose. Hate so powerful there’s no
room in her heart for love, not even for the honorable Reverend
William, whom she likes and respects enough to marry. But when
William finally listens to Louella’s pleas and leads the formerly
enslaved people off the plantation, Louella begins to replace her
hate with hope. Hope that they will find a place where they can
live free from fear. Hope that despite her many unanswered prayers,
she can learn to trust for new miracles. Soon, William and Louella
become the appointed king and queen of their self-proclaimed
Kingdom of the Happy Land. Though they are still surrounded by
opposition, they continue to share a message of joy and goodness
and fight for the freedom and dignity of all. Grab your coy of The
