Written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was Harper Lee's debut novel which was never published and was assumed to have been lost. Lee's publishers were completely captivated by Scout and her childhood and asked Lee to focus on that part of the story. Thus To Kill a Mockingbird was written.
Go Set a Watchman is set during the mid-1950s and features many of the characters from To Kill A Mockingbird some twenty years later. Scout (Jean Louise Finch) has returned to Maycomb from New York to visit her father Atticus. She is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand both her father's attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place where she was born and spent her childhood.
