I would recommend to anyone that enjoys books about families and their history. Also people who are interested in learning about the black community and how they survived after they were free. I liked that Happy Land was indeed a real settlement for them.

I agree with all the previous posters on their reasons for the audiences for this book. I would also add for anyone who likes reading about relationships between mothers and daughters.

Books that I have read with a similar theme include:

Long After We Are Gone by Terah Shelton Harris

Moonrise Over Jessup by Jamila Minnicks

One of Our Kind by Nicola Yoon, though I wouldn’t recommend this one.

This would be a great read for book clubs. I’ve recommended it to friends.
