Harper Lee Biography, Age, Weight, Height, Friend, Like, Affairs, Favourite, Birthdate & Other

Harper Lee was an American author who is renowned for her novel To Kill a Mockingbird. She did not seem to have many companions during her childhood except her neighbour and friend Truman Capote. Lees mother probably had some psychological ailments and this left a profound impact on her. Truman also faced domestic problems and the two found an outlet in each other to pour out these grievances which later came out through their writings.

Lee wanted to become a writer and to chase this dream she dropped out from her course as an exchange student and tried to pursue her literary career. However, she encountered many obstacles in this path, the major challenge being financial instability. To earn a living and also continue her writing, she took up a job at the airlines.

This deterred the aspiring writer from focussing on her writing completely, and she struggled to strike a balance between her work and passion for writing. As they say Where there is a will, there is a way, she was helped by friends in her pursuit when as a Christmas gift, she received a handsome amount which was enough for her to quit her job and focus on writing. She then penned her novel To Kill a Mockingbird which became a bestseller and is still sought after by readers
