I wish I could remember how it ended. I think it ended at the point where he met Scarlett at the Wilkes' mansion, but I am not sure.
It was more prequel than sequel - about Rhett in youth.
I was very disappointed in "Scarlett" That book seemed too historically incredible IMO and I couldn't believe that a woman of Scarlett's tenacious nature would give up Tara or that she would be named "the O'Hara" over her two uncles. They were males and older than her father. That would've counted to a clan electing its chief.
"Rhett Butler's People" seemed more "historically accurate" to my little knowledge of the antebellum South and of Rhett, but I did not find it exciting. "Scarlett" had more romance and action.
Update:
The blurb says it "parallels" GWTW, so at least some of the situations in GWTW are in this book, from Rhett's POV. I still think it was more "prequel". I was not thrilled with the book. It did not satisfy my expectations of it as a fan of GWTW. Yet if I did not have those expectations based on GWTW, if I was not "programmed" by GWTW, I think I would have liked the book.
The same goes for "Ruth's Journey: the authorized novel of Mammy from Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind." I had my own ideas of Mammy's past from GWTW, and they got in the way of whatever enjoyment I could have had from reading this book. Yet I think it was a good book. Well-written. Insightful.
