Yet despite the book's perennial popularity, its creator remains a somewhat mysterious figure. Journalist Shields brings to life the warmhearted, high-spirited, and occasionally hardheaded woman who gave us two of American literature's most unforgettable characters--Atticus Finch and his daughter, Scout--and who contributed to the success of her lifelong friend Truman Capote's masterpiece, In Cold Blood. At the center of the book is Lee's struggle to create her famous novel. But her life contains many other highlights: her girlhood as a tomboy in overalls in tiny Monroeville, Alabama; the murder trial that made her father's reputation and inspired her great work; her journey to Kansas as Capote's ally and research assistant on the story of the Clutter murders; the surrogate family she found in New York City.--From publisher description. 000313181 60010 $$aLee, Harper. 000313181 650_0 $$aAuthors, American$$y20th century$$vBiography. 000313181 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3562.E353$$iZ87$$i2006 000313181 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0624/2005046799-b.html 000313181 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0624/2005046799-d.html 000313181 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0659/2005046799-s.html 000313181 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:313181$$pGLOBAL_SET 000313181 980__ $$aBIB 000313181 980__ $$aBOOK 000313181 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
