 The premier novel for One Book One Siouxland was Harper Lee’s 1961 Pulitzer Prize-winner, To Kill a Mockingbird. This modern classic was chosen because it presents innumerable issues and ideas for personal reflection and group discussion.
Set in a small town of the 1930s, To Kill a Mockingbird is the story of the social disdain endured by a widower, Atticus, and his two children, Scout and Jem, when Atticus defends an innocent African-American man who is accused of raping and beating a white woman. But that is only part of this story, whose message still endures today.
The book can be found at your local library or at your favorite bookseller. Barnes & Noble Booksellers of Sioux City graciously supplied "bookfair vouchers," where a portion of your purchase went to support One Book One Siouxland. (Click the book icon below to print out the vouchers.)
