The award winning novel of “To Kill a Mockingbird” is set in Maycomb, Alabama in 1935. When 8-year-old Scout Finch's father, lawyer Atticus Finch, mounts a vigorous and compelling case for the defense of Tom Robinson, a poor black man accused of an attack on a white girl, an idyllic world of childhood is changed forever. Through the trial and its aftermath comes a deeply moving story of freedom, justice, honesty, and hypocrisy, told with warmth and humor. The story is relevant and resonates today.
