The children's novel Tru and Nelle...wow. It is based on the real-life friendship of Truman Capote and Harper Lee. There were scenes reminiscent to Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. I thought this was the author's creation. As I listened to Deliberate Cruelty, I realized these pivotable points in Tru and Nelle really happened.

I knew about Lee's role in Capote's In Cold Blood. I did not realize how much Lee's friendship with Capote influenced To Kill a Mockingbird.
