Harper Lee

Harper Lee, the elusive author whose "To Kill a Mockingbird" became an enduring best-seller and classic film with its child's-eye view of racial injustice in a small Southern town, has died.

Growing up, Harper Lee's 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill A Mockingbird became one of my favorite books of all time. It captured the imagination of readers around the globe and spawned the film which earned Gregory Peck an Oscar for Best Actor. Now, 54 years later, Harper announced that it will release the sequel to her beloved book this coming July 14.
