To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Set in the deep south during the Depression, this novel poignantly reveals racism in America during that time.  The reader sees the story through the eyes of Scout Finch, a curious tomboy learning about the community she lives in, the people who inhabit it, and how life is not always fair, despite one's best intentions.  Scout begins to see the hate in her own community and struggle, like her father, to understand.

This novel is one of my personal favorites.  It is an amazing coming of age story where the young Scout learns that the people in her hometown are not all as they seemed.  She watches first hand as her father, Atticus attempts to open the eyes of the people of Maycomb, while doing his best to raise his own children to view all people equally.
