To Kill A Mockingbird October 3, 2009

To Kill A Mockingbird by Haper Lee is set in a small Southern town in the 1930s, as Atticus Finch, an attorney and widowed father of two young children, stands against his town by defending a young black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. Atticus instills in his children the moral values of honesty, integrity and respect for others, and in so doing, becomes an American hero.
