The Mockingbird Next Door: Life with Harper Lee by Marja Mills

I loved the book To Kill a Mockingbird as well as the classic movie adaptation of it starring Gregory Peck. So I knew I wanted to read this memoir. The Mockingbird Next Door gives a rare look into the life and world of Harper Lee and her sister, Alice. Beautifully written, this book takes you on a journey of discovery, giving you a candid snapshot of the person who wrote the acclaimed classic To Kill a Mockingbird. I really enjoyed this memoir and recommend it if you want to get to know Harper Lee and her sister more. 

I'll share one of my favorite passages in the book, showcasing a great love of books:

“I followed Alice Lee into the living room. Books were everywhere. They filled one bookshelf after another, stood in piles by her reading chair, and were stacked on the coffee table and most available surfaces for that matter.” ❤️
