In Georgia, there is a vivacious, strong, and passionate 16-year old girl named Scarlett Ohara. She is the daughter of Gerald Ohara, owner of Tara plantation, and Ellen Robillard, coastline French aristocrat. Scarlett is a Southern Belle, a local coquette. She has many admirers, all of whom dote over her. But she is madly in love with Ashley Wilkes, the owner of Twelve Oaks, the neighboring plantation. She finds out that at the barbeque, Ashley will propose to his visiting cousin, a plain and ordinary girl named Melanie Hamilton. The Wilkes and Hamilton had been in-breeding for years, to keep the wealth between them. Scarlett is heart broken, and throws a fit. There, at the party, there is a wealthy but infamous man named Rhett Butler. He is immediately attracted to Scarlett. Ashley does indeed propose to Melanie, and just to spite them, Scarlett agrees to marry Charles Hamilton, Melanie's brother, and the lover of Ashley's sister, India.
The Civil War starts, and both men go to fight. A note comes later that Charles has died in battle. Scarlett doesn't care at first, for she does not love him, but she cares when she cannot attend lavish parties and wear fancy clothes. In "mourning", Ellen sends Scarlett to Atlanta to live with Melanie at Aunt Pittypat's. She often meets Rhett Butler there, who is always willing to help her. Then, they learn that Melanie is pregnant with Ashley's child. But, the Yankees are attacking! Scarlett delivers the child, a boy named Beaux. Then, they escape back to Tara, onoy to find the entire plantation ravaged and destroyed by the Yankees.
Scarlett then vows that she wil never be hungry again, and tries to fix up Tara, including by shooting a Yankee who comes to steal her late mother's belongings. Then, a traitor named Wilkerson tells Scarlett that she must pay $3,000 taxes or they'll take Tara. She first goes to Rhett, now in a comfy jail, but he cannot access his money. Then, she bravely goes back to Atlanta, to find Frank Kennedy. Frank was her sister Suellen's lover, who had been destroyed by the war, but then has become a wealthy owner in Atlanta.
Frank tells Scarlett that he will ask for Suellen's hand, but Scarlett, thinking quick, tells him that Suellen has fallen in love with another. She marries Frank, and becomes Scarlett Ohara Kennedy, as well as a business woman. She is scolded for doing business and even driving her own carriage. Suellen is heartbroken, but Scarlett explains that it was the only way to save Tara, for Suellen would not have saved it.
When driving, a poor man tries to assault Scarlett, but Big Sam, a "free darkie" who knows Scarlett, comes and saves her. In avenging her, Frank Kennedy is killed. After a lot of drama between the Wilkes, Hamiltons, and Oharas, Scarlett marries Rhett.
"I'll think of it all tomorrow, at Tara. I can stand it then. Tomorrow, I'll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day."
