For Harper Lee fans, great excitement for the book that came before ‘Mockingbird’

“To Kill A Mockingbird“ author Harper Lee

Follow @Nate_WekSDPB

After publishing her classic novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" in 1960, Pulitzer Prize-winner Harper Lee has never published another one. Now, more than a half-century later, a book she wrote in the 1950s will see the light of day. Jeffrey Brown talks to filmmaker Mary Murphy and novelist Wally Lamb about the reclusive author and their reaction to the news.
