Samuel Brice Hall is the director of investor relations at Piedmont Private Equity, LLC, in Atlanta, Georgia, where he manages the tax mitigation and conservation strategy team. An avid reader, Samuel Brice Hall counts To Kill a Mockingbird as his favorite book and enjoys re-reading it every few years. Alabama native Harper Lee is the writer of the enduring classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Much like Mockingbird’s main character Scout, Lee grew up a tomboy in a small town and, like Scout’s father Atticus, her father was an attorney. She was also close childhood friends with Truman Capote. After high school, Lee attended the University of Alabama, where she contributed to the school newspaper and humor magazine. She was accepted into law school, but ultimately dropped out in order to pursue a writing career. She moved to New York City where she befriended a Broadway composer and his wife, Michele Martin Brown and his wife Joy, who supported her for a year so that she could focus on her writing. They also helped her find an agent. To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960. It won the Pulitzer Prize the following year and was successfully adapted to film in 1962. Since then, the book has been translated into more than 40 languages and sells more than a million copies each year.
