Harper Lee’s latest novel, Go Set a Watchman, released on July 14, 2015, was actually written several years before To Kill a Mockingbird was published  Controversy and excitement has surrounded this work, which is set in the 1950s, twenty years after the action in Mockingbird.

In Go Set a Watchman, Scout (now known as Jean Louise Finch) is a 26 year-old woman who lives in New York City.  As the story begins, we find Jean Louise on a train bound for Maycomb, Alabama, to visit her elderly father, Atticus Finch.  She intends to confront Atticus, but why?
