Summary
The Dollangangers were a happy family, but then the patriarch, Christopher, dies.  He leaves behind his wife, Corrine, and 4 young children, Chris (15), Cathy (12), and twins Cory and Carrie (5).  The family is deep in debt, so Corrine must contact her parents, who angrily disowned over because of her marriage, and hope to earn back their love.  This is a long and tragic story of greed before children.  How secrets can destroy those you love most.

Review
When I was in middle and secondary school I read a LOT of V.C. Andrews.  Flowers in The Attic was one of my favorite series, but boy, is it fucked up.  There are themes in this book that make me really uncomfortable, even years later and after many reads.  However, that is what has made FITA such a lasting and classic series.  I'm looking forward to rereading the entire series.
