A prolific writer once she got started, having over twenty titles to her credit. She was first published as a novelist at the age of 63.
Plain is quoted in the LA Times in 1978 as saying:
"The thing is, you come to a perspective of life at midway. You see your grandchildren, you remember your grandparents, and there's a sense of overall family continuance. It's a very moving experience."

NoveList suggests that Belva Plain's writing will often appeal to fans of Barbara Bradford Taylor, Barbara Delinsky and Julie Ellis.
Rest in Peace Belva.
