The Queen of Sugar Hill: A Novel of Hattie McDaniel

I've heard several Gone with the Wind critiques about Mammy's role and I have never once heard or thought about the actor's experience. According to the author's note that this was the goal to showcase her life and trails and this book def. accomplished this. This historical fiction book about Hattie Mcdaniel's life provides a bigger picture to the criticisms about this film's role and the culture of that time. Hattie had an uphill battle with sexism, racism, and typical hollywood.
