The Reberts of Littlestown

LILLIE SCHWARTZ - Determined to win Alex's love Lillie knows from the start that she has a serious rival in the flamboyant Belle McPherson.

ALEX REBERT - Alex also knows that Belle's heart belongs to his adopted brother, Jamie McPherson. Alex's is a secret passion that will haunt him for many years.

EFFIE RIFFLE - Materialistic and beautiful, Effie feels that love can tame the drinking habits of the fashionable, wealthy Harry Rebert.

HARRY REBERT - The story of the Rebert family concludes with Harry, the product of obsessive maternal love, lured by the excitement of the Roaring Twenties, a victim of progress and his own personal demons.

The continuing saga of the Rebert family which began with the Civil War follows these love stories, while they are constantly clouded by a changing American culture--Women's Rights and Suffrage, the birth of the modern cities, World War 1, and Prohibition.
