Meet Jean Louise Finch, nicknamed “Scout.” Six years old at the opening of the novel, this fiery tomboy is hardly the conventional “Southern lady,” a fact which occasionally gets her into trouble with the more traditionally minded members of the small town of Maycomb, Alabama. But when a black man is accused of raping a white woman and Scout’s father is appointed to defend him, Scout begins to see the darker side of her pleasant little town—and to question what it means to live justly in a world torn by race and class distinctions.
