This newly discovered manuscript lead to the creation of To Kill a Mockingbird with an alternate version of the heroic Atticus Fitch character. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch—"Scout"—returns home from New York City to visit her aging father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise's homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town, and the people dearest to her. Memories from her childhood flood back, and her values and assumptions are thrown into doubt.
Bring your thoughts and perspective to a lively discussion.
Registration required by August 6
