Scarlett is reborn with the painful memories of her entire previous life, returning to the summer of 1860, on the eve of the picnic at Twelve Oaks. The Civil War has not yet broken out, she is not yet married to Charles, and none of the tragedies have begun.
In her previous life, she was obsessively in love with Ashley and missed her chance with Rhett. She endured war and displacement, the deaths of loved ones, the ruin of her home, the loss of a child, and divorce. Only in the end did she realize she loved Rhett deeply, but had lost him forever. After being reborn, she cuts off her deluded fixation on Ashley once and for all and takes the initiative to get close to Rhett, seizing her chance at true love. She plans ahead to avoid the war, takes her family to Europe to escape its devastation, then returns to Tara after the war to protect her home and remain by her beloved's side, living a fulfilled life together.
