Flowers in the Attic

by V.C. Andrews · Dollanganger series

After their father's sudden death, four siblings are hidden away in their grandmother's attic by their desperate mother, who promises the confinement is temporary. But months stretch into years of psychological torment, isolation, and horrifying family secrets that warp innocence into something darker. A gothic tale of abuse, survival, and the sins that poison bloodlines.
