To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

An absolutely wonderful book!  I often wish Harper Lee had written another.  This is the story of a young girl, Scout, and her experience one summer when her lawyer father, Atticus, defends a black man in a rape case against a white woman.  It deals with big issues in a clear way and yet is also humorous and compassionate.  A fantastic and easy read and definitely, definitely worth the time.
