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.

ReShonda's recommended reads are:

The Other Princess by Denny S. Bryce
The Inmate by Freida McFadden
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
The First Ladies by Victoria Christopher Murray and Marie Benedict
