Summary:
"One journalist's memoir of her personal friendship with
Harper
Lee
and her sister, drawing on the extraordinary access they gave her to share the story of their lives. To Kill a
Mockingbird
by
Harper
Lee
is one of the best loved novels of the twentieth century. But for the last fifty years, the novel's celebrated author,
Harper
Lee
, has said almost nothing on the record. Journalists have trekked to her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, where
Harper
Lee
, known by her friends as Nelle, has lived with her sister, Alice, for decades, trying and failing to get an interview with the author. But in 2001, the
Lee
sisters opened their
door
for Chicago Tribune reporter Marja Mills. It was the beginning of a long conversation-and a friendship that has continued ever since. Along with members of the Lees' inner circle, the sisters and Mills would go fishing, feed the ducks, go to the Laundromat, watch the Crimson Tide, drink coffee at McDonald's, and explore all over lower Alabama. Nelle shared her love of history, literature, and the quirky Southern way of
life
with Mills, as well as her keen sense of how journalism should be practiced. The story of Mills's friendship with the
Lee
sisters. A rare opportunity to know Nelle
Harper
Lee
, to be part of the Lees'
life
in Alabama, and to hear them reflect on their upbringing, their corner of the Deep South, how To Kill a
Mockingbird
affected their lives, and why Nelle
Harper
Lee
chose to never write another novel. Marja Mills is a former reporter for the Chicago Tribune."--Provided by publisher.
