Steve Brown is the author of the Belle family saga,
which begins when Catherine and Nelie Belle arrive in
Charles Towne just in time for Nelie to be kidnapped
by Blackbeard and carried off to the Outer Banks. A
century and a half later, and before the outbreak of
the Civil War, the sixth generation of the family owns
a huge rice plantation up the Cooper River; Franklin
Belle goes off to West Point, his brother, Lewis, to the
Citadel. Fifty years following that, three old maids,
descendants of Catherine Belle, take in an orphan,
a victim of the moonshine feuds in the Carolina
foothills. Almost fifteen years later, the events related
in Charleston's Lonely Hearts Hotel occur, and during the sixties, Ginny
Belle, thirteenth-generation Charlestonian, spends
her summers on Pawleys Island where she and her
girlfriends go to meet boys and dance.
