Suzette D. Harrison’s standalone novels range from early contemporary fiction to recent historical novels. Living On The Edge Of Respectability (2002) and When Perfect Aint Possible (2003) were her first published books, followed by Taffy (2016) and This Time Always (2020).
Her historical fiction brought wider recognition. The Girl at the Back of the Bus (2021) tells a dual-timeline story connected to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, The Dust Bowl Orphans (2022) follows Black families during the Depression, and My Name Is Ona Judge (2022) dramatizes a real escape from enslavement. Each book centers Black women’s experiences within major historical moments.
