The discovery of Christopherâs diary in the ruins of Foxworth Hall brings new secrets of the Dollanganger family to light in this riveting novel from V.C. Andrews, the author of Flowers in the Attic and Petals on the Wind, both major Lifetime TV events.
Christopher Dollanganger was fourteen when he and his younger siblingsâCathy and the twins, Cory and Carrieâwere locked away in the attic of Foxworth Hall, prisoners of their motherâs greedy inheritance scheme. For three long years he kept hope alive for the sake of the others. But the shocking truth about how their ordeal affected him was always kept hiddenâuntil now.
Seventeen-year-old Kristin Masterwood is thrilled when her fatherâs construction company is hired to inspect the Foxworth property for a prospective buyer. The once grand Southern mansion still sparks legends and half-truths about the four innocent Dollanganger children, even all these decades later. Foxworth holds a special fascination for Kristin, who was too young when her mother died to learn much about her distant blood tie to the notorious family.
Accompanying her dad to the âforbidden territory,â they find a leather-bound book, its yellowed pages filled with the neat script of Christopher Dollanganger himself. Her father grows increasingly uneasy about her reading it, but as she devours the teenâs story page by page, his shattering account of temptation, heartache, courage, and betrayal overtakes Kristinâs every thought. And soon her obsession with the doomed boy crosses a dangerous lineâŚ

Just read the Flowers in the attic with sequals and forget this. Adds nothing to the original stor except that young Cathy is a bimbo and young Chris reminds a little of young Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory prequel. Kristin's story isn't interesting but if you want a typical VC Andrews story, go ahead!
