Hohoff asked her to effectively write another novel but told from the point of view of the central character, Jean Louise, as a young girl. Burnham says Harper Lee originally submitted this manuscript to Tay Hohoff, an editor at Lippincott, her original publisher.īURNHAM: And Ms. NEARY: Burnham says this novel reads like a sequel to "To Kill A Mockingbird."

HEAVEN sets the stage for the series by introducing us to the super-poor Casteel family who live in a shack by the mountains, are basically trailer trash (except they live in a shack, so shack trash), and cursed with tragic beauty.
