Reeling from her discoveries, Jean Louise seeks comfort from one of her oldest friends. Read by Fenella Woolgar.
Believed lost for decades after 'To Kill A Mockingbird' was published, Harper Lee's explosive second novel finally appeared in 2015.

Jean Louise 'Scout' Finch travels from New York to Maycomb for her annual visit home.
Now she's in shock after learning that her father Atticus is chairman of a white separatist group in Maycomb.
She's relieved when he agrees to take the case of their beloved old housekeeper Calpurnia's grandson, who has knocked down and killed a white man.
But her relief is short-lived...
