Harper Lee has died in her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, according to Alabama news site AL.com. Her publisher HarperCollins confirmed the news, according to the New York Times. She was 89.

The author was born in Monroeville in 1926, moving to New York in the late 1940s. There, she found publishers interested in a reworked version of To Kill a Mockingbird — which was released in 1960 to critical acclaim, eventually winning a Pulitzer Prize and becoming a beloved American novel.

For a time, the novel about lawyer Atticus Finch was the author’s only book. However, the author resurfaced in the news last year when a spiritual sequel, titled Go Set a Watchman, was found among Lee’s belongings and published.
