The most infamous love affair of all times continues on with The Winds of Tara.

Scarlett O'Hara, headstrong and beautiful, contrives to win back the love of her estranged husband and children. Broken hearted, she returns home to Tara, only to find the plantation in jeopardy by a greedy overseer and her sister's reputation threatened. Determined to succeed against overwhelming odds, she spins a web of lies and deceit that force her to choose between the man she loves, and breaking a solemn promise that would expose a secret that could destroy her family's honor forever.

"At Last, A Worthy Sequel!
Ms. Pinotti has proven herself to be a worthy successor to the legacy of ‘Gone With The Wind’ and a peer of Margaret Mitchell. Truly, this is much, much more than a book...it is an experience, an emotional journey not to be missed!”
James Tumblin,
World’s largest private collector of ‘Gone with the Wind’ memorabilia

"This is one of the best books I have ever read, much better than "Scarlett". The characters seem to come alive to you, just like GWTW. "
- M. Rogers

"Wow, Katherine! I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy and now that I have it's even better than I had hoped. I love what you've done with the characters and feel that you have captured the essence of the original book. Thank you!"
- Sharon L.

"I believe the publisher did a fantastic job on publishing this book of Katherine pinotti's. I loved reading it myself after being edited so professionally by Fontaine Press. Hat's off to you guys!"
- B. Owen

"It was one of those books you couldn't put down until you were finished. It pulled in the old characters from "the other book" and made them like living people. The range of emotions was awesome, laughing, crying, tense, angry, elated and sad. It begs for a sequel. Please find a wasy to have in the United States. It would make a world-class movie. "
- Donna R.

"... It remained very true to the spirits of the characters and had a dramatic yet realistic ending ..rated the best of all the three sequels and in fact is in my opinion- as far as the story line goes and the trueness to character. ..this was MUCH better than Rhett Butler's People and was comparable with Scarlett- although better due to it's length (Scarlett could have been shorter and still retained its storyline). "

About the Author

Katherine Pinotti, a native Texan, grew up in rural North Carolina in a small town on the South Carolina border. As a young child, her grandmother delighted in recounting endless tales of the Civil War, and how their family barely survived General Sherman's devastating march to the sea, and the reconstruction that followed. With Yankee as well as Confederate heroes in her family's history, Gone With The Wind became her favorite literary work the instant she first read the book at age thirteen. Obsessed with the old south's romantic bygone era, Katherine wrote The Winds of Tara as a tribute to the original work, wanting very much to carry on the saga as Margaret Mitchell would have wanted, keeping the beloved characters of Scarlett, Rhett, Mammy, Suellen, and the others, true to life as we remembered them, allowing their lives to continue to unfold in a believable story that readers will again enjoy for a lifetime.

Physician, teacher, author, and avid rock collector, Katherine currently lives on a small east Texas ranch with her husband and children, seven dogs and fifteen cats. She spends most of her free time traveling, rock-hounding, gardening, and of course writing constantly.
