This is the thirteenth volume in the Unsung Masters Series, a book series that brings the work of great, vastly under-appreciated authors to new generations of readers. It includes a large selection of Jean Ross Justice’s work alongside essays, photographs, and an interview with her son.
Although she began publishing fiction in magazines in the 1950s, Jean Ross Justice’s first short story collection, The End of a Good Party, appeared in 2008, when she was 84 years old. It was followed by another collection of stories, Family Feeling (2014), and the novel Till My Baby Comes Home (2016). She died in 2019.
