About This Book

Twenty-six-year-old Scout Finch returns from New York to Maycomb, Alabama, and confronts the gap between the idealized father of her childhood and the complex, flawed man Atticus Finch actually is. Harper Lee's controversial second (and earlier-draft) novel sparked intense debate about race, heroism, and disillusionment.
