b"In this interview, I chat with ReShonda Tate about The Queen of Sugar Hill, how she became interested enough in Hattie McDaniel to write about her, how Hattie opened doors for others, the research she did for the book, how she decided what years of Hattie's life to focus on for the story, looking at historical events through the lens of the time period versus a 21st-century lens, and much more.\\nReShonda's recommended reads are:\\n\\n\\nThe Other Princess by Denny S. Bryce\\n\\n\\nThe Inmate by Freida McFadden\\n\\n\\nPretty Girls by Karin Slaughter\\n\\n\\nThe First Ladies by Victoria Christopher Murray and Marie Benedict\\n\\n\\n\\nWant to know which new titles are publishing in January - May of 2024?
