Each year, thousands of visitors to Atlanta still search for Scarlett's white-columned mansion and are disappointed when told that Tara was only a creation of Hollywood. Or was it? When researching Scarlett, author Alexandra Ripley walked the streets of Atlanta for inspiration. To Ripley and many other Gone With the Wind fans, the ghosts of Scarlett and Rhett still linger in the shadow of skyscrapers. From her grandparents' farmhouse where Mitchell first heard tales of the Civil War, to the dingy apartment where she spun them into fiction, Looking for Tara retraces the author's footsteps as she created one of literature's most memorable stories. So come along! Plan a weekend or daytrip and experience the flavor of Mitchell's real - and fictional - world. -- from back cover.
