      Set against the backdrop of the American South from the 1820s until the dawn of the Civil War, this is a remarkable story of fortitude, heartbreak and indomitable will - and a tale that will forever illuminate the reading of Margaret Mitchell's unforgettable classic, Gone with the Wind. From Ruth's early years as the beautiful young companion to a strong-willed French emigre mistress, to her breief marriage and finally to her life's calling as the wise and devoted caretaker to the women of the Robillard and O'Hara families, Ruth has known days of joy and unspeakable sadness. This is her story.

      Rossella non poteva immaginare, pronunciando "Domani è un altro giorno", che quel domani sarebbe arrivato. In questo romanzo, la storia è rivissuta attraverso gli occhi di Rhett Butler, l'indimenticabile "lui" che continua a incarnare il fascino di Clark Gable. Autorizzato dall'Estate di Margaret Mitchell, il racconto si presenta come un seguito di una saga che ha appassionato generazioni. Rhett è un giovane ribelle, insofferente alle rigide norme del Sud, amico dei neri e innamorato delle paludi che circondano la piantagione dei Butler. Rifiuta il dominio paterno e diventa un uomo determinato, abile negli affari, anche se i suoi metodi non sono sempre limpidi. Possiede un forte senso degli affetti e una profonda lealtà verso chi ama. Attraverso il suo sguardo, i personaggi di "Via col vento" rivivono con nuove emozioni, in particolare Rossella, la cui vita è legata a quella di Rhett più di quanto lei stessa riconosca. La narrazione si espande oltre la storia originale, rivelando sorprese come il legame tra Rhett e Belle Watling, la figlia del sorvegliante, e le sue attività durante la Guerra civile, portando a scoperte inaspettate.
