Today, July 7, 2010 is the 50th anniversary of the publication of a classic in literature, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Every writer's dream is to be like Harper Lee, for she didn't just write a book, she created a masterpiece that will live on forever in literature, enjoyed by young and old alike. Once you've read the book, you will never forget precocious Scout and her brave father, Atticus Finch and the rest of the characters who make up this incredible story set in the south, so appropriate for the era that heralded the civil rights movement.
So I pay homage to this fantastic author. If you read this and you haven't read To Kill a Mockingbird, read it now. This was her only book, a loss to the world.
