Now a major Lifetime movie event—Book Four of the Dollanganger series that began with Flowers in the Attic—the novel of forbidden love that captured the world’s imagination and earned V.C. Andrews a fiercely devoted fanbase.

They escaped their mother’s hellish trap years ago, but a cruel history of lies and deceit has come full circle…

The forbidden love that blossomed when Cathy and Christopher were held captive in Foxworth Hall is one the Dollanganger family’s darkest secrets. Now, with three grown children and even a new last name, the pair seem to have outlived a twisted legacy. But on their son Bart’s twenty-fifth birthday, when the spiteful and disturbed young man claims his rightful inheritance, the full, shattering truth of their tainted past will be revealed at Foxworth Hall—the place where the nightmare began, and where Christopher and Cathy were once just innocent flowers in the attic…

Even when he was home, he managed to keep himself remote, untouchable. He was never idle, always jumping up to take long distance calls in his office so we couldn’t overhear his business transactions. He seldom talked to our mother. She didn’t seem to mind. On rare occasions we’d seen him holding our baby sister on his lap, and we’d

She lingers in the doorway and speaks to me from a distance.” His husky voice cracked, then broke entirely and he was crying. “I’m trying, Mom, really trying to accept this and not be bitter. But when I see what’s happening between me and my wife, I come apart inside. I know what she’s thinking even when she says nothing.

Joel is helping me find myself. He’s an old man who lived in sin when he was young and is redeeming himself in his old age through good deeds.
