To Kill A Mockingbird

Lee, H. (1988). To kill a mockingbird. New York, NY: Grand Central Publishing.

     Strong, powerful characters and story line fill this book from beginning to end.  Reality hits hard when Atticus, the father, attempts to defend an innocent black man. Despite being seen by many as a well respected lawyer, not everyone accepts his decision to defend this man.  Atticus refuses to sit back and watch.  Harper Lee does a remarkable job in developing the characters in this story as Scout begins realizing how things really are in life, just not fair.  Fascinating book!
