Randall and her publishing company, Houghton Mifflin, were sued in April 2001 by Mitchell's estate on the grounds that "The Wind Done Gone" infringed the copyright of "Gone with the Wind". The lawsuit, "Suntrust v. Houghton Mifflin Co.", was eventually settled, allowing "The Wind Done Gone" to be published with the addition of a label describing it as "An Unauthorized Parody". In addition, Houghton Mifflin agreed to make a financial contribution to the Morehouse College, a historically black education institution in Atlanta supported by the Mitchell estate. The novel became a "New York Times" bestseller.
