Description
As the movie version of 'Gone With The Wind' ended, Scarlett's life was in a shambles. First, she lost her little girl, Bonnie, when she fell from her pony. A few days later, her best friend Melanie died. Now Rhett has left her. Our story begins where the movie left off. There's only one place where Scarlett can be healed. She must go home to the red earth of Tara. She vows to change her life, change herself, and make atonement for her mistakes. Somehow, someway, she will win Rhett back. Once home, Scarlett finds that Tara isn't the safe haven she expected. Old friends may not be what they once were. There are people who don't like a rich, independent woman. An unexpected gift from an old enemy changes her life and may be the key to bringing Rhett back to her. Along the way, Scarlett learns some bitter truths about slavery and she tells Big Sam and Mammy that she's through with lies and deception and in the future, she wants only the cold, hard truth, no matter what illusions it destroys. When she beats him in a land deal, Scarlett antagonizes her old overseer, Jonas Wilkerson. He swears deadly vengeance after he is humiliated in front of the whole town. Can Scarlett make peace with her sisters, regain the love of the man she lost, and atone for her mistakes? More importantly, can she protect her family and the home she loves from ghostly midnight riders with white hoods and burning crosses?
