    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, is a story set in the 1930s in the Deep South, narrated through the eyes of a young girl named Scout. The main plot revolves around Atticus Finch, her father, a lawyer who defends a black man, Tom Robinson, accused of assaulting a white woman. The story explores themes of childhood innocence, and how it is affected by the prejudice and injustice of the community, and the inequality in the justice system. The children must try to understand why the community is so quick to judge and convict Tom despite the evidence. Through the trial and other events, Scout and her brother Jem begin to understand the complexities of human nature and the importance of empathy, with characters such as Boo Radley and Dolphus Raymond. The story looks at moral growth and how these children learn valuable lessons about the world and the people that live in it.

    According to Freemasonic symbolism, Enoch, fearing that all knowledge of the sacred Mysteries would be lost at the time of the Deluge, erected the two columns mentioned in the quotation. Upon the metal column in appropriate allegorical symbols he engraved the secret reaching and upon the marble column placed an inscription stating that a short distance away a priceless treasure would be discovered in a subterranean vault. After having thus faithfully completed his labors, Enoch was translated from the brow Of Mount Moriah. In time the location of the secret vaults was lost, but after the lapse of ages there came another builder--an initiate after the order of Enoch--and he, while laying the foundations for another temple to the Great Architect of the Universe, discovered the long-lost vaults and the secrets contained within.

    Jonathan Corcoran was the youngest and only son of three siblings in a family balanced on the precipice of poverty. His mother, a traditional, evangelical, and insular woman who had survived abuse and abandonment, was often his only ally. Together they navigated a strained homelife dominated by his distant, gambling-addicted father and shared a seemingly unbreakable bond. 
     
     
     
    When Corcoran left home to attend Brown University, a chasm between his upbringing and his reality began to open. As his horizons and experiences expanded, he met the upper-middle-class Jewish man who would become his husband. But this authentic life would not be easy, and Corcoran was forever changed when his mother disowned him after discovering his truth. In the ensuing fifteen years, the two would come together only to violently spring apart. As the COVID-19 pandemic raged in 2020, the cycle finally ended when he received the news that his mother had died. 
     
     
     
    In No Son of Mine, Corcoran traces his messy estrangement from his mother through lost geographies as well as the lost relationships with friends and family and the sense of home that were stripped away when she said he was no longer her son. Through grief, anger, questioning, and growth, Corcoran explores the entwined yet separate histories and identities of his mother and himself.
