En 1931, un conflicto racista acontecido en la localidad vecina de Scottsboro conmocionó a la sociedad estadounidense.

Amiga personal de Truman Capote, Lee decidió retirarse del mundanal ruido cuando alcanzó la fama. En 2007 recibió la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad de Estados Unidos por su carrera literaria. Premio Pulitzer en 1961, un año después el director Robert Mulligan la llevó a la pantalla en una inolvidable película que obtuvo dos Oscar de la Academia: al mejor guion (Horton Foote) y al mejor intérprete masculino (Gregory Peck).
