Book Presentation:
SCARLETT, RHETT AND YOU shows you how GONE WITH THE WIND speaks to the heart of everyday life. Scarlett and Melanie are composite archetypes in every woman's personality, just as Rhett and Ashley are comprised of every male. If you ever wanted to explore the driving forces in your own life; the dynamics of your relationships and your "place" in the world, this book will help you find your way. You may be surprised to learn, too, that Rhett and Ashley were real people in Margaret Mitchell's life; not merely characters for her famous novel.

The ancient Greeks advise us to "know thyself." Mitchell's characters speak powerfully of the specific problems faced by all mankind, now and forever.
