Literary Road Map

If you really, truly know me, then you know that 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is my favorite book of all time. The first time I read it, I was convinced that Harper Lee used me to create Scout's character. Each time I read it, I learn something new; it is, in essence, a road map that can take you from loathing and bigotry to innocence and love.

In a world full of hate, persecution, and racism, may we remember a female writer who took a stand during a time when racial injustice was rampant and wrote a book about a white man choosing to legally represent a black man he knew to be innocent. "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."-Atticus Finch
