Happy land

Nikki hasn't seen her grandmother in years, due to a mysterious estrangement inherited from her mother. When the elder calls out of the blue with a request for Nikki to visit her in the hills of western North Carolina, Nikki hesitates only for a moment. Mother Rita tells Nikki an incredible story of a kingdom on this very mountain, and of her great-great-great grandmother, Luella, who would become its queen.
