A coming of age story about a sister and brother named Louise "Scout" Finch and Jeremy Atticus "Jem" Finch respectively, who are growing up in the fictional small town of Maycomb, Alabama in the Deep South of America in the 1930's.
The story takes place over three years and is told from the point of view of the younger sister, Jean Louise Finch or "Scout", as she is commonly referred to by friends.
During the story the children's father, attorney Atticus Finch is appointed to defend a black man (Tom Robinson) falsely accused o f raping a white girl (Mayella Ewell). Robinson is subsequently convicted, although there is no evidence to prove Mayella Ewell had been raped at all.
The subsequent events that follow that trial make this a powerful story of one mans dedication to justice and gentleness against a backdrop of bigotry and violence, as seen through the innocent eyes of his daughter, Scout.
