Editorial Review:
What typical Southern girl who grew up in the decades of the 40s and 50s hadnt wanted to be Scarlett OHara especially if she happened to be the namesake of that character? Born on the very day and at the precise time Gone With the Wind premiered in Atlanta, Scarlett Harwoods destiny had simply collided with the stars, or so went the thinking of her dreamy-eyed, melodramatic young mother whose address was Cloud Nine.
It was on her fifteenth birthday that Scarlett Harwood finally saw the movie from which her name had come. From the moment Vivien Leighs character materialized on the screen until the credits rolled, the girl was mesmerized, dumbstruck by the twinship she saw between herself and that young belle. It felt to her like someone had crawled inside her head, excised her brain, and planted it in the head of Scarlett OHara. She left the theatre that day still dabbing her tears, convinced that she was the reincarnation of the heroine with one exception. She was smarter. She would never repeat OHaras mistakes. Never.
Neither would she repeat those of her mother, Tessa. She would get it right. Unlike both Scarlett OHara and Tessa, once she found her perfect man, she would never let him go.
That was the plan.
Then came Jacob Stevenson.

Rating:  - A real dog
I just couldn't make it through this one. Terrible story, poor writing (no imagination) on the author's part. I loved "Gone With the Wind", "Scar;ett" was just OK, "Rhett's People" so-so. This one is trading on GWTW names only. Save your $
Rating:  - In Search of Rhett Butler
Excellent writing, however, it is a book written by a female, about a female, for females. The ladies will enjoy it,
Rating:  - Very enjoyable
This was a fun book. I enjoyed getting to know these characters and the only bad part about the book for me was that it was over too soon!
Rating: - Fabulous Story
This is one of the best books I have ever read. I highly recommend it.
Rating: - Coming of age tale and a lott much
The first part of this wonderful book is a tale of coming of age
in the small-town-South. The story line and characterizations are good and the author's observations and metaphoric descriptions are keen and witty but not overdone. Tom Wolff massaged by Sue Grafton. The rest of the book is memoir-like, with the early characters continuing to devlop as the later charaters come aboard, adding breadth to the story without confusing it. We are drawn into their lives with extremely intelligent ... Read More
