What does freedom really mean when the world won’t let you have it?
Is it found in the dream of land ownership?
In the safety of family?
Or in the simple act of being left alone?
In Happy Land, bestselling author Dolen Perkins-Valdez uncovers the untold story of Black families who dared to build something of their own—only to face devastation.
Hi, this is required reading.
Inspired by real events, Happy Land explores themes of erasure, inheritance, and survival with a sharp, poetic voice that makes you feel everything. If you’ve ever wondered why some histories get buried and others get built over—this book is for you.
This season, we’re diving into the mess, the magic, and the legacy.
