I heard it was found in a safe deposit box 5 years ago and that many think it was an update of an earlier manuscript she gave her publisher. At least that's what I thought I heard on BBC at like 3 am as I drifted in and out of consciousness.




This book was written first, then she decided to retell the story with Atticus as the hero. People are upset, but it's a completely alternate story, not a sequel or prequel to Mockingbird.

The publisher didn't like the initial book so she wrote "To Kill A Mockingbird" which took place earlier.
