Harper Lee, author of the classic American novel To Kill A Mockingbirg, is famously reclusive and publicity-averse. In fact, she hasn’t given an interview in over forty years. “But like her reclusive character Boo Radley, Lee recently emerged to perform an act of kindness. The author signed a first edition of her book that will be sold to raise money for the seriously ill son of [a] Cookeville, Tenn., police chief.”
