The Black Gold Heiress by
Annie Vanhoose
It begins with a woman history almost forgot. Lydie Marland was adopted by an oil magnate, became his wife, and rose to prominence as Oklahoma’s First Lady. Black Gold Heiress reimagines the first three decades of her life—a story of privilege, identity, and the quiet struggle to find her place in a world defined by others.
“This isn’t a story about an oil tycoon—it’s about the women orbiting him, often caught in the shadows of his ambition, and the quiet (and not-so-quiet) ways they push back.”
— Shelly L., Goodreads review
