An indelible family portrait of one of the most famous and cherished creators in the canon of American books - a collection of words between Harper Lee and one of her closest friends that unveils the famously private copy writer as nothing you've seen prior, in her own words. The violent racism of the American South drove Wayne Flynt away from his home talk about of Alabama, however the publication of To Wipe out a Mockingbird, Harper Lee's classic book about courage, community, and equality, inspired him to return in the early 1960s and art a job documenting and teaching Alabama history. His writing resonated with many Alabamians, specifically three sisters: Louise, Alice, and Nelle Harper Lee. You start with their first meeting in 1983, a shared respect and passion for the state's history and books matured into a profound friendship between two individuals, who can track their roots there again more than five decades. Flynt and Nelle Harper Lee started out writing to 1 other while she was residing in NY - heartfelt, insightful, and funny letters where they swapped reports, information, and views on topics both personal and professional: their own families, books, Alabama history and social values, health issues, and even their concerns and achievements. Though their first missives began officially - "Dear Dr. Flynt" - as the years passed and their shared admiration grew, their exchanges became more close and emotional, opening with "Dear Friend" and closing with "I love you, Nelle". Through their enduring correspondence, the Lees and the Flynts became completely immersed in each other's lives. Attractively written, smart, and sharing with, this exceptional compendium of these words - a correspondence that lasted for a quarter hundred years, from 1992 until Harper Lee's death in Feb 2016 - provides an incisive and compelling look into the mind, heart, and work of one of the most beloved creators in modern literary history.
