On the way there, Jean Louise remembers her older brother Jem, who died of a heart attack two years ago, and her childhood friend Dill, who is now somewhere abroad. That night, Jean Louise and Henry go on a dinner date and then go to a childhood haunt, Finch’s Landing. They arrive home and talk to Atticus and Atticus’s sister, Jean Louise’s aunt, Alexandra, whom Jean Louise has never been able to get along with. Henry drives her home and they entertain ideas of marriage, but Jean Louise still cannot bring herself to fully commit to marrying Henry. Upon arriving home, Jean Louise is met by her childhood friend and lover Henry Clinton. Jean Louise looks up to her father immensely, although Atticus is now seventy-two, and has a hard time getting around due to his rheumatoid arthritis. Her father Atticus Finch is a well-known lawyer in the town, and once won an incredible acquittal for a young black man accused of rape.
Jean Louise, also called by her childhood nickname Scout, left the South after college and now works in New York. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch is returning to her home county of Maycomb in Alabama to visit her family for two weeks on vacation.
