The Secret Meeting

Nelle Harper Lee and Truman Capote, the authors, are the backdrop of this love story and mystery. It begins as an innocent trip to Monroeville, Alabama, to see a reenactment of Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mocking Bird, with two strangers, one from Chicago and the other from Atlanta. A black girl from Atlanta and a white boy from the south side of Chicago connect on their first day, and the adventure begins. Hooking up in the Deep South would be enough of a challenge, but what ensues-the KKK, murder, and their two moms finding love also-creates a wild ride. It's contemporary, and a number of social reform issues thread their way through this energy-packed loving couple's lives. Very contemporary and happening right now.
