Secrets 02 Secrets in the Shadows
by V. C. Andrews
Everyone Says Her Mother Was Crazy. Is She Doomed to Repeat the Past?Up
in the attic, that's where Alice's mother used to escape to...and it's
where, so Alice has been told, she plotted the murder of her own
stepfather. Now, years later, with her mother locked away for life, the
attic is where Alice finds comfort in her aloneness, writing poetry and
painting pictures. When Alice finally finds the courage to come out of
her shell, exchanging her dowdy looks for flattering clothes and makeup,
her life completely opens up — she even attends the prom with a cute,
popular boy. But it's a night that turns quickly tragic — sending her
newfound happiness crashing down around her, and hurtling Alice into a
shattering new life, one that leads her to a shocking reunion with the
shadows she had fled.From the imagination behind Flowers in the Attic
comes a sensational new novel that spins a seductive web between
fantasies and lies — and uncovers the price for keeping secrets in the
shadows.
