Harper Lee, the author of "To Kill a Mockingbird," died Friday, Feb. 19. Literary icon Harper Lee died in February at age of 89. Lee had stunned the world a year earlier when her publisher announced that a second novel "Go Set a Watchman" would be published. Lee was buried in a quiet service in Monroeville with only a few select friends and family present, a reflection of how the famously private author had lived her life. (AP Photo/Kim Chandler, File)
