  <default_description>Olivia dreamed of a sun-filled love, a happy life. Then she entered Foxworth Hall...&lt;P&gt;V.C. Andrews' thrilling new novel spins a tale of dreadful secrets and dark, forbidden passions -- of the time before &lt;I&gt;Flowers in the Attic&lt;/I&gt; began. Long before terror flowered in the attic, thin, spinsterish Olivia came to Virginia as Malcolm Foxworth's bride. At last, with her tall handsome husband, she would find the joy she had waited for, longed for. But in the gloomy mansion filled with hidden rooms and festering desires, a stain of jealous obsession begins to spread...an evil that will threaten her children, two lovely boys and one very special, beautiful girl. For within one innocent child, a shocking secret lives...a secret that will taint the proud Foxworth name, and haunt all their lives forever!&lt;P&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Prequel to Flowers in the Attic. Suitably Gothic, good for young women in long white nightgowns creeping up cobwebby stairs in the middle of the night by candlelight. With a thunderstorm raging outside, of course. And either a homicidal maniac or a deranged ghost lurking in the shadows.

    <body><![CDATA[This is an interesting prequel - it takes us into the life of the horrid grandmother and shows us her childhood and how she became the person that she was in &quot;Flowers in the Attic&quot;  V.C. Andrews doesn't seem to be lacking for dark, dramatic family issues in her plotlines!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved reading the otherside to the previous stories - I found it interesting to see what had made them who they were, as I had found myself asking that in 'Flowers In The Attic'. This really is an amazing series of books!! I can't reccommend them more highly!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I ate these books up when I was younger so I hate to give them a 3. However, I realize that they are actually terrible books, and I can't justify anything more. Regardless, all the character remain in my mind and maybe one day I'll check back in with them.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a great series for young readers. I was in my early 20s and Didn't like to read much at all, But heard V.C. Andrews had some entertaining books. So I gave this set a try and enjoyed them very much. Good tasting bubblegum for the brain!]]></body>
