The Great American Read Finale

Adria Botella

In The Moment ... October 24. 2018 Show 447 Hour 2

America has chosen her best loved novel, and it happens to be one that most of us grew up with. Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" was announced last night as the winner of The Great American Read.

American and Canadian readers spent the summer campaigning and voting online for their favorite from a list of 100 novels.

We broke down the numbers with Patrick Hicks, writer-in-residence at Augustana University.

Lori Walsh is the host and senior producer of In the Moment.
