The estate of Margaret Mitchell sued Randall and her publishing company, Houghton Mifflin, on the grounds that The Wind Done Gone was too similar to Gone with the Wind, thus infringing its copyright. The Wind Done Gone is essentially the same story as Gone with the Wind, only told from the viewpoint of Scarlett O'Hara's half-sister Cynara, a mulatto slave on Scarlett's plantation. Randall is also a novelist, whose first novel The Wind Done Gone is a reinterpretation and parody of Gone with the Wind. Over 20 of her songs have been recorded, including several top ten and top forty records her songs have been performed by Trisha Yearwood and Mark O'Connor. Randall is the first African American woman to write a number one country hit. She currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee and is married to attorney David Ewing.
She attended Harvard University, where she earned an honors degree in English and American literature, before moving to Nashville in 1983 to become a country songwriter. Alice Randall (born Detroit, Michigan) is an American author and songwriter.
