If you think that your life is bad and no one else would be going through anything worse ... well pick her up and you will feel a whole lot better.

All her stories are such horribly sad - and most of them the main characters are cheated in life (not money) mind you....

The main character is a girl who looses her father and has to move out with her mother. She lives a very miserable poor life an has no friends cause she is 'different'. Then her mom decides to get herself a More...

Only a few pages in and I am shocked and annoyed to see that it appears to be written in the same time period as Willow and Hannah!! Er, hello?? CDs and computers and email for Grace? Who is the first character in a line of 3 generations? What a whopper of a mistake for a series by such a well known author name!
Overall it wasn't too bad although I did feel that towards the end it felt a bit rushed, there was a lot happening in a short space of time. The biggest plot line involving her bein More...

I'm glad I'm finally done w/ this book. It takes me A LOT longer to read a book when I find it uninteresting. And this entire series was just that, uninteresting.

this book is about Willow's mother Grace and her childhood. It's pretty depressing reading about a person that seems to be depressed her entire life. I wouldn't recommend this book or this series, as it was probably the worst of all V.C. Andrews books. And for some unknown reason to me, there had to be six books in this inc More...

This is one of those "can't put down" books. Very good and ending was quite surprising!

Brilliant story, one of the best Virginia Andrews i have read in a while, i did notice a few time issues though that jarred a little within the time frame of the others in the series.
Overall though a very exciting story.

The book isn't bad, but I find it very irritating to find odd discrepancies moving from the previous books in the series to this one. This book seems to be set in the wrong time period. Grace's daughter and granddaughter apparently live in the same time period she does....which makes no sense at all. Literally, Grace is speaking of computers and email during this book, while in the previous book, her granddaughter is giving brand new PDAs to her half-brothers. It makes no sense and I'm not fond More...

Disappointing. Which is weird to say about a VC Andrews book that was written around the time this was written, because while they're not great by any means, they are at least enjoyable in that silly, twisted, guilty pleasure way. This one was rather boring.

This was the fourth book in the Willow series. It was also my favorite in the series. Even though V. C. Andrews has been dead for sometime, I still read the books they put out under her name. The Flowers In the Attic series & Heaven series were my favorites.

Is a prequel to the first book. The characters are bit fleshed out now but knew what was going to happen. Grace is raped by her step-father and her mother pretends the baby is hers. In the end Grace is starting to lose it.

The fourth book from the Willow series is from Grace Houston's POV, Willow's mom. The story of her history. I liked it very much!
