DescriptionDorothy Love - The Bracelet  The Bracelet is an historical fiction novel set in Savannah, Georgia in 1858. Dorothy Love beautifully combines family drama and romance with mystery in a book that compels the reader to reach the end and learn the secrets of the Browning family. Many years ago, the Brownings suffered two tragedies in their home, followed by weeks of gossip. Now an opportunistic newspaper reporter dredges up the scandal in hopes of selling newspapers and books. Hurt by the judgment of her society friends, and hoping to protect her father and cousin, Celia Browning begins her own search for answers. Our lives are rarely occupied by a single issue and The Bracelet certainly reflects that. The tensions that were building in southern Georgia just three years before the outbreak of The Civil War must have overshadowed every relationship and every decision in 1858. In that cauldron of stress, Celia welcomes home the man she’s loved for years and hopes to marry. She continues charity work and social engagements while alternately ignoring the coming storm and resolving to live normally despite it. According to the author’s note at the end of the book, each character was based on a real historical person and I believe that authenticity resounds in each one. However, there are no slave characters in the book and Love explains that not all Southerners owned slaves or made their living on cotton plantations. The big Browning town home is kept by a single, Irish housekeeper while a freeman serves as their driver. Since the Brownings are listed as one of the wealthiest families in Savannah, it seems unlikely that their home would be so scarcely furnished with servants and that they would not have owned even one slave.
