Jean Louise becomes physically ill as she sees her father, the man she admires more than anyone, participate in a hate group, something she views as unforgiveable. However, her idyllic stay is ruined when she discovers that both her beau and her idolized father are a part of Maycomb’s citizens’ council, a group clearly designed to keep the African American population under the thumb of white America. The first few days go largely as planned, as she trespasses in order to have a late-night swim in the river and receives repeated marriage proposals from Hank. She expects this visit to be like all the previous ones: She expects to scandalize the town with her modern ways, to be romanced by Henry “Hank” Clinton, to bicker with her Aunt Alexandra, to enjoy the wry humor of her Uncle Jack, and, most of all, to spend two weeks enjoying quality time with her elderly father, Atticus. Jean Louise Finch, a 26-year-old New York resident, returns to her hometown of Maycomb, Alabama, for her annual two-week visit.
