Seven unpublished manuscripts written by the late groundbreaking author E. Lynn Harris have been recovered from his computer's hard drive, according attorney Dermot Givens, who's the lawyer for Mrs. Etta Williams Harris, the late author's mother and sole heir. Computer forensic experts were able to locate and open password-protected files that were found on Mr. Harris's personal laptop.
