Publisher's Synopsis
Though at times he was known to have a fierce and violent temper, Lee nonetheless had a heart that editor Thomas Forehand contests was as soft as velvet. Through letters, diary excerpts, and touching stories, Forehand demonstrates that in his personal life Lee was indeed a peacemaker, full of a surprisingly sensitive and gentle nature that his family and others recorded. Chapters on chivalry, family, peace, slaves, and enemies show Lees conscientious and compassionate side in various situations.
