The Land of Sweet Forever combines Lees never-before-seen short stories and published nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice.

Covering territory from the Alabama schoolyards of Lees youth to the luncheonettes and movie houses of midcentury Manhattan, The Land of Sweet Forever invites still-vital conversations about politics, equality, travel, love, fiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and creative life.

This collection comes with an introduction by Casey Cep, Harper Lees appointed biographer, which provides illuminating background for our reading of these stories and connects them both to Lees life and to her two novels.
