Summary:
"
Authorized
by the
Margaret
Mitchell
Estate, here is the first-ever prequel to one of the most beloved and bestselling novels of all time,
Gone
with the
Wind
. The critically acclaimed author of Rhett Butler'
s
People magnificently recounts the life of
Mammy
, one of literature'
s
greatest supporting characters, from her days as a slave girl to the outbreak of the Civil War. "Her story began with a miracle." On the Caribbean island of Saint Domingue, an island consumed by the flames of revolution, a senseless attack leaves only one survivor--an infant girl. She falls into the hands of two French emigres, Henri and Solange Fournier, who take the beautiful child they call
Ruth
to the bustling American city of Savannah. What follows is the sweeping tale of
Ruth
's life as shaped by her strong-willed mistress and other larger-than-life personalities she encounters in the South: Jehu Glen, a free black man with whom
Ruth
falls madly in love; the shabbily genteel family that first hires
Ruth
as
Mammy
; Solange's daughter Ellen and the rough Irishman, Gerald O'Hara, whom Ellen chooses to marry; the Butler family of Charleston and their shocking connection to
Mammy
Ruth
; and finally Scarlett O'Hara--the irrepressible Southern belle
Mammy
raises from birth. As we witness the difficult coming of age felt by three generations of women, gifted storyteller Donald McCaig reveals a portrait of
Mammy
that is both nuanced and poignant, at once a proud woman and a captive, and a strict disciplinarian who has never experienced freedom herself. But despite the cruelties of a world that has decreed her a slave,
Mammy
endures, a rock in the river of time. She loves with a ferocity that would astonish those around her if they knew it. And she holds tight even to those who have been lost in the ravages of her days. Set against the backdrop of the South from the 1820s until the dawn of the Civil War, here is a remarkable story of fortitude, heartbreak, and indomitable will--and a tale that will forever illuminate your reading of
Margaret
