This can be corrected if a semicolon is added between the sentences, which can include one conjunction such as however, therefore, etc. after the semicolon.

This story is<em> “To Kill a Mockingbird”, </em>written by Harper Lee. The children Jem and Scout Finch live in Maycomb and they witness how their father Atticus Finch defends a black man Tom Robinson. They know he is not guilty, but the jury is prejudiced against black men.
