With nowhere to go, no one to help her, Leigh fled into the arms of Luke Casteel! Leigh Van Voreen had to escape from Boston's Farthinggale Manor. The foul secret she harbored within her seemed to darken her life forever. Jillian, her mother, would not believe her...and Tony Tatterton, her stepfather, had betrayed her most cruelly.

Personally, I find the title 'Web of Dreams' a bit off, as it doesn't fit in with the rest of the series titles. But Leigh's story is good, and gives a LOT of explanation as to how Heaven's life turned out the way it did. Tony had told Heaven that it was Leigh's fault, that Leigh was the seductress, but this book shows that not only is Leigh a victim of Tony's unrestrained lust, she is also a victim of her father's neglect and her mother's willful ignorance.

But Leigh's story is good, and gives a LOT of explanation as to how Heaven's life turned out the way it did. Tony had told Heaven that it was Leigh's fault, that Leigh was the seductress, but this book shows that not only is Leigh a victim of Tony's unrestrained lust, she is also a victim of her father's neglect and her mother's willful ignorance. In Dark Angel and Fallen Hearts, it's hard to not feel sorry for Jillian as she falls into madness, but in this book, you cannot help but think that Jillian got what she deserved, for being so selfish to Leigh.

The business with Leigh's questioned paternity was a completely unnecessary detail in this book and would have been better left out. Two other things always bothered me - that in the beginning as Annie is going through her great-grandmother's things, she finds Leigh's diary. If Leigh ran away with Luke and took the diary with her, then Jillian wouldn't have been in possession of the book (and thus she would have known of the truth), and the letter at the end reveals that Tony was aware of Heaven's existence long before she came to Farthinggale Manor, since he had a detective track Leigh down. Why did he choose to leave the baby girl up there? Yes, Tony was a slimeball for what he did, but leaving his child up in the mountains without even checking up on its welfare?

It seems that these flaws are Andrew Neiderman's making, since VCA was unable to finish this book, and Neiderman had to finish it for her. He uses the snotty schoolgirl cliche in here that he has used in future books, and in this book, the school drama was really unneccessary. These flaws are what keep this book from being 5 stars, and it would have been great if Neiderman had paid more attention to VCA's detail to make sure he didn't contradict or retcon anything, but what's done is done and you'll just have to take this book as it is. At least it was better than Gates of Paradise. (less)

Satisfies your curiosity for what started it all.
Novels that were truly written by Ms. Andrews were Flowers in the Attic, Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, My Sweet Audrina, Heaven, and Dark Angel. When Virginia became seriously ill while writing the Casteel series, she began to work even harder, hoping to finish as many stories as possible so that her fans could one day share them.

This is the fifth and last book in the Casteel family saga.

This is supposed to be a kind of diary, but it’s not written as a diary at all, it’s pretty much written just like the other books. So, to get through it without being too annoyed, I just had to imagine that it was just kind of based on what Annie was reading in the diary and that she was in a way “filling in the blanks” or something, I’m not sure how to explain it. There are some inconsistencies with the earlier books and, as with the e...more

It opens on Annie and Luke returning to Farthinggale Manor for Troy Tatterton’s funeral. While poking around, Annie finds a diary that belonged to her grandmother, Leigh, and begins to read it. The rest of the book is written in Leigh’s voice (minus the epilogue). When the story begins, Leigh is celebrating her 12th birthday with her mother Jillian and her father Cleave. Jillian is supposed to be a children’s book illustrator, although this is something I never completely buy about her. I feel like she is too selfish, flighty, and shallow to have the patience to create any kind of art. Cleave owns a cruise ship company, which Jillian loved at one point because it made her feel wealthy and important, but the bloom is off that rose and she now yearns for a mansion with a maze – hmm, that is awfully specific.

The book goes on to tell the full story of Leigh, and it ends with Annie flipping through the rest of the blank pages and finding a letter from a PI to Tony, explaining that Leigh died in childbirth. Taren at The Chick Manifesto points out some inconsistencies about whether Tony knew or not, how Jillian got the diary, and even the shortness of time between Heaven and Tom’s birth. The idea that Luke cheated of Leigh when they never even consummated their marriage is one of the things I find saddest in the book, after all the raping. I feel like a lot of the series sets up this idea that Leigh was Luke’s one true love and his loss of her is why he’s such a drunk, and an awful father and husband, yet cheating would make this seem false.

I liked the character of Leigh. After the many versions of Leigh’s story that Heaven and Annie hear throughout the series – she was innocent, she was a manipulative slut – I like ending the series on her own version of the story. I had an easier time getting through this series than I did with the Dollanganger series – none of the books were as boring as If There Be Thorns, but it seems like this series has more rape and incest/inappropriate sexual relations than the Dollanganger series does.

Wow! This book was so bad, it was great! I just can't believe anyone would be as stupid as Leigh and her mom were. No way, Jose. (Although I guess you don't read V.C. Andrews for its realism!)

"My stepfather wants to paint nude pictures of me and makes inappropriate remarks. Is that normal?" "Yes, Leigh. He's an artist. And artists have to paint nude people. Particularly my 14-year-old daughter."

This certainly doesn't hold it's own with classic literature but it was almost 500 pages & good to hammer in lots of verbs & nouns. For pulp writing though I must say that V.C. Andrews was quite admirable. The story is a retelling of *Lolita* but with many twists. Our nymphette Leigh although maybe slightly curious & flattered by her stepfather's attentions, is not seduced, but raped by him, which I think makes quite a powerful & accurate statement about the nature of the Humbert...more

And, you guy, soooo much better than the fourth book, which I only gave one sad star. While our fourth book gave us Annoying Annie, Heaven's daughter, the fifth one showed us where all of the sick secrets ("the evil Casteel curse") began with Leigh, Heaven's mother.

The book starts out with Annie and (not actually her brother/cousin) Luke at Farthinggale, there to bury Troy, Annie's real and fabulous father. Oh, Troy. I weep. And Annie discovers a diary...

Bam, it's Leigh's 12th birthday. She has a great life, the daughter of a luxury cruise owner, living it up in a brownstone if Boston. Then her selfish, social-climbing, crazy mother runs away with Tony Tatterton, a much younger but much wealthier man. The family is broken up, Leigh's father fading into the background without too much of a fight. It's never really clear if he knows that Leigh isn't really his daugher (Jillian duped him), but regardless, I found his abandonment of Leigh deplorable. Shame on you, Clive.

Jillian spins into her own world, constantly working to keep up her beautiful youthful appearance, and ignoring her own daughter, new husband, and adorable brother-in-law, who is essentially her stepson because he's four and being raised by Tony. Which, shame on you too, Tony, for not figuring out that Jillian was a real bitch and not going to help raise this kid. Leigh has disturbing encounters with her new stepfather, who is secretly encouraged by Jillian to seduce Leigh (apparently sex takes away from your beauty, who knew?). When Leigh is raped and Jillian doesn't believe her, Leigh runs away, meets a dude at a train station, misses her train because she's at the circus with this guy, then she marries him. You guys, it's a sweeter, younger Luke! Not Annie's Luke, but Heaven's father! Not biological father because that's Tony. But the father she grew up who really sucked, but you see, it's because his life was destroyed when his child bride died while giving birth to Heaven. Sigh. It all makes sense now.

The only thing that doesn't make sense? How old Leigh is. She's 12-14 in the book, but either acts like she's 5 (stand up to your mama, dangit) or 16 (when she's with her friends, dating guys). I forgive you, V.C. and/or ghostwriter. This was so awesome otherwise, and good grief, so much better than Annie's story that I just feel grateful. And want to read another V.C. series. Obviously.

This book was all about Leigh VanVoreen. What a horrible, vain mother she had in Jillian VanVoreen. It seems as though her father, a captain of the many ships they owned, was a good man. But, he married Jillian, who was much younger than he, and he ended up wrapped up in his work to pay much attention to her.

So, as these 2 married people drifted farther and farther apart, Jillian was drawn into the arms of Tony Tatterton, a millionaire and President of Tatterton Toys. Jillian meets him and is hired to paint a mural on one of the walls of his home. She takes her daughter Leigh to meet Tony and his little brother Troy. Their parents died in an accident and Tony is more of a father to Troy than a brother.

Lying about her age, Jillian leaves her husband and marries Tony Tatterton, who believes she is 20 years younger than she actually is. From then on, all she does is complain to her daughter Leigh about how much attention he needs and how he is always wanting sex; she therefore has her own bedroom in the house and is constantly denying her husband.

Then she encourages Leigh to pose for Tony for a new Tatterton toy: a personalized doll; everyone will want a miniature doll of themselves, a collectible. Tony takes Leigh to the cabin on the grounds of Farthington Manor to sketch, then make a clay mold of her for the first doll. She must pose nude, which Leigh finds very strange, but her mother insists its because the doll will look exactly like her in every way. Even when Tony starts touching her, her mother insists it's because he's an artist and he needs to for his masterpiece.

After the doll is finished and Leigh is presented the doll from Tony on her 13th b-day, her mother decides to go on holiday, leaving Tony in the hosue w/ Leigh. He then visits her bedroom at night and rapes her on two occasions. When her mother returns and Leigh tells her mother what has happened, she doesn't believe her, telling her she's making it all up.

When a couple of months go by and Leigh begins to feel sick, she realizes she is pregnant and informs her mother, who in turn, blames her for the whole thing, saying Leigh took advantage of her husband and the whole thing is her own fault.

From there on, Leigh flees Farthington to go and live w/ her grandmother. On the way she comes into contact w/ Luke Casteel, who is w/ the circus. He takes her to the circus and she ends up missing her bus. He then learns the whole story of her being raped and pregnant. He vows to take care of her and proposes marriage.

This is a far cry from the Luke Casteel we read about in the first few books of the series. He takes Leigh to the Willies after they marry and tells his family that she is pregnant with his baby. They never consumate their marriage,as Luke wants to wait until after the baby is born.

This whole book is made to be a journal Leigh kept and is found by Annie and Luke from the 4th book in the series. The last pages of the book Leigh is going into labor. Then there is a letter from a private investigator letting Jillian know they located her daughter in the Willies and that she had died in childbirth and that the baby lived, (who was Heaven Casteel, named by Luke).

It was a good book but a little long and drawn out. I didn't mention much about Troy only because he was 4 yrs. old in the book, but he was very smart and the only thing Leigh did enjoy about her short stay at Farthington Manor.(less)

Probably I have the worst taste, but I loved it. Leigh's character is really sympathetic, though yeh at times we think she could have known better, but considering her age and situation, who can blame her. Luke was really adorable in this book and their story with Leigh is just sweet. Also Troy as a little boy as charming as the grown up in second and third books.

I wonder if Leigh would have been happy if she hadn't died. Luke would had fullfied his promises or he would had dissappointed her. It wasreally interesting to know that Luke was the one who give the baby the name of Heaven.

The youngest child and the only daughter of William Henry Andrews, a career navy man who opened a tool-and-die business after retirement, and Lillian Lilnora Parker Andrews, a telephone operator. She spent her happy childhood years in Portsmouth, Virginia, living briefly in Rochester, New York. The Andrews family returned to Portsmouth while Virginia was in high school.

While a teenager, Virginia suffered a tragic accident, falling down the stairs at her school and incurred severe back injuries. Arthritis and a failed spinal surgical procedure forced her to spend most of her life on crutches or in a wheelchair.

Virginia excelled in school and, at fifteen, won a scholarship for writing a parody of Tennyson's Idylls of the King. She proudly earned her diploma from Woodrow Wilson High School in Portsmouth. After graduation, she nurtured her artistic talent by completing a four-year correspondence art course while living at home with her family.

After William Andrews died in the late 1960's, Virginia helped to support herself and her mother through her extremely successful career as a commercial artist, portrait painter, and fashion illustrator.

Frustrated with the lack of creative satisfaction that her work provided, Virginia sought creative release through writing, which she did in secret. In 1972, she completed her first novel, The Gods of the Green Mountain [sic], a science-fantasy story. It was never published. Between 1972 and 1979, she wrote nine novels and twenty short stories, of which only one was published. "I Slept with My Uncle on My Wedding Night", a short fiction piece, was published in a pulp confession magazine.

Promise gleamed over the horizon for Virginia when she submitted a 290,000-word novel, The Obsessed, to a publishing company. She was told that the story had potential, but needed to be trimmed and spiced up a bit. She drafted a new outline in a single night and added "unspeakable things my mother didn't want me to write about." The ninety-eight-page revision was re-titled Flowers in the Attic and she was paid a $7,500 advance. Her new-generation Gothic novel reached the best-seller lists a mere two weeks after its 1979 paperback publication by Pocket Books.

Petals on the Wind, her sequel to Flowers, was published the next year, earning Virginia a $35,000 advance. The second book remained on the New York Times best-seller list for an unbelievable nineteen weeks (Flowers also returned to the list). These first two novels alone sold over seven million copies in only two years. The third novel of the Dollanganger series, If There Be Thorns, was released in 1981, bringing Virginia a $75,000 advance. It reached No. 2 on many best-seller lists within its first two weeks.

Taking a break from the chronicles of Chris and Cathy Dollanganger, Virginia published her one, and only, stand-alone novel, My Sweet Audrina, in 1982. The book welcomed an immediate success, topping the sales figures of her previous novels. Two years later, a fourth Dollanganger novel was released, Seeds of Yesterday. According to the New York Times, Seeds was the best-selling fiction paperback novel of 1984. Also in 1984, V.C. Andrews was named "Professional Woman of the Year" by the city of Norfolk, Virginia.

Upon Andrews's death in 1986, two final novels--Garden of Shadows and Fallen Hearts--were published. These two novels are considered the last to bear the "V.C. Andrews" name and to be almost completely written by Andrews herself.

Her novels were so successful that after her death her estate hired a ghost writer Andrew Neiderman, to write more stories to be published under her name.(less)
