In the book, “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee there are 2 main children called Jem Finch and Scout Finch. Both of these children have a father that is a lawyer of maycomb named, Atticus. Atticus is a single parent but has a Black maid named Calpurnia who comes there day to day taking care of the household members. Atticus is a good father and good friend to some but not to all.
