In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett’s death leaves behind a puzzling inheritance for her two children, Byron and Benny: a black cake, made from a family recipe with a long history, and a voice recording. In her message, Eleanor shares a tumultuous story about a headstrong young swimmer who escapes her island home under suspicion of murder. The heartbreaking tale Eleanor unfolds, the secrets she still holds back, and the mystery of a long-lost child challenge everything the siblings thought they knew about their lineage and themselves.

Transformative and breathtakingly honest, The American Queen is based on actual events that occurred between 1865 - 1889 and shares the unsung history of a Black woman who built a kingdom in Appalachia as a refuge for the courageous people who dared to dream of a different way of life. 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.

Movie Preview Caught my Attention!
I decided to download this book only after having seen the previews of the upcoming movie. I am elated that I spent the money. It was a refreshing look into the struggle of an African American women in the corporate & "Free" arena. I really enjoyed watching as Venus grew from an insecure "college student" to an adult who could love and give real love. I am paitently waiting for the movie.

Fell in love with myself all over again....
Very nice depiction of the everyday struggels of woman black women and hair. I was even more elated to learn that the book had been made into a movie. I am so glad I listened to the audiobook first. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Much better than the movie.

Great listen
Good writing and narration. Story line was interesting. Not the ending I was hoping for, but still good.
