A Good Review
The book, Tara's Forgotten Son, is a wonderfully written novel. The book, set in the time following the Civil War, tells the tale of Wade Hampton Hamilton, the son of the infamous Scarlett O'Hara. The story is told from Wade's point of view and shows a new side of the beloved Gone with the Wind saga. The author shows an extensive knowledge of the time period by staying true to historical facts. I enjoyed how thoroughly the main character is developed. Watching his character shape is truly exciting. The author uses highly descriptive details to appeal to the reader's imagination. You won't want to put down this superbly written drama.This is an original tale that I would very much recommend.

Gone with the Wind
Just to add a little more info about Tara's Forgotten Son:
Tara is not a person. Tara is the name of the O'Hara plantation in GWTW. In the book, Scarlett married Charles Hamilton and bore a son, Wade Hampton Hamilton, named after Charles' commanding officer. Wade is often forgotten because he is not included in the movie, and he is only mentioned briefly in the book.

A child concieved at the onset o civil distress, he struggles to overcome the trauma of soldiers, abandonment, and near starvation. When his mother disposes of him at Tara, he finds solitude in the land, but he is soon thrust into manhood when he protects his friend from her abusive father. As he follows her across the country to save her from further mistreament, he battles the forces of nature in the Wild West, the wiles of a scorned woman, and his intense desire to maintain his integrity. Bearing the scars of loss and lies, he discovers his ability to break free from the hold of his tormented past, his manipulative mother, and the forces of iniquity that work against him. Still, he searches for peace, forgiveness, and the strength to survive.
