Harper Lee is a notoriously private person, says Kristin Matthews, a BYU professor of English at BYU. So it caught many of us off guard last week when she announced she was releasing a sequel to her best-selling novel "To Kill a Mockingbird."  We explore the controversy around her announcement. Matthews tells us that Lee's sister spent her life shielding her from the media, but she died recently. That lends the possibility that Lee may not be in sound mind, or she's being taken advantage of.
