To Kill a Mockingbird
Overview & Summary
In Depression-era Alabama, young Scout Finch watches her father, lawyer Atticus Finch, defend a Black man falsely accused of raping a white woman, a case that exposes the deep racism of their small town even as Atticus insists on treating every person -- including the reclusive, misunderstood neighbor Boo Radley -- with dignity. Harper Lee's 1960 novel won the Pulitzer Prize and remains one of the most widely taught American novels about justice, empathy, and moral courage.
