anabel_unker 's review for:
The American Queen
by Vanessa Miller
*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
Inspired by the amazing true story of the Kingdom of the Happy Land, THE AMERICAN QUEEN details the story of Louella and William Montgomery and their people. Formerly enslaved and burning with a fire for justice, Louella convinces her reverend husband and a group of 50 people to leave Mississippi and move towards the freedom of the north. Along the road, their numbers swell to over 200 before they finally find their promised land on the North and South Carolina border. There, the couple and their followers work the land and in the surrounding towns until a flourishing kingdom is established with the motto "One for all and all for one".
Miller did a a wonderful job of bringing this story to light-- her commitment to accuracy and passion for the narrative of the Happy Land shines through her storytelling. THE AMERICAN QUEEN is a wonderful piece of Christian Historical Fiction that showcase's a little known, inspirational part of American history.
