The romance was inspired by the author&#8217;s sister, who was diagnosed with cancer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGone with the Wind\u201d by Margaret Mitchell is a southern gem. Set in the American South during the Civil War and Reconstruction era, the novel is about a strong-willed daughter of a plantation owner and her romantic pursuit of Ashley Wilkes. The complicated love story engages readers in an emotional journey \u2014 a journey Arkansas and Maine are willing to take.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s just something about a good coming-of-age story America can\u2019t get enough of! \u201cTipping the Velvet\u201d by Sarah Waters is the top novel in Georgia and Texas. The story follows a young woman who falls in love with a male impersonator in 1890s England. The colorfully passionate, addicting story is about the growing pains of womanhood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Emily Giffin\u2019s \u201cSomething Borrowed,\u201d a young attorney, who has always been known as the good girl, lives and works in the hustle and bustle of Manhattan.
