Harper
Lee wrote Go Set A Watchman
(published tomorrow) before To Kill A
Mockingbird. But her editor advised her that Watchman would not be received well at the time, and urged her to
write, instead, the ‘back-story’ of the childhood of her central character.
What if your greatest gift to the
world was not the story you wanted to tell, but the prequel that the world was
ready to hear?
Would
that devalue the gift, or make it even more precious?
