Despite the success of her first novel, Harper Lee did not publish any other completed works until the release of "Go Set a Watchman" in 2015. However, there has been some controversy over the circumstances surrounding the publication of this novel, as it was initially believed to be a sequel to "To Kill a Mockingbird," but was later revealed to be an earlier draft of the same story.

Harper Lee was known to be a private person and rarely gave interviews or made public appearances. She lived most of her life in Monroeville, Alabama, where she grew up. Her impact as a writer and her contributions to American literature continue to be celebrated.
