Petals on the Wind (Dollanganger, #2)

by V.C. Andrews

Beauty thinks it needs no talent and can feed on itself, so it soon dies.

Why should they believe the truth when a lie was so much more exciting?

tell you now, before I go on to better place, the simple secret of living happy. All you need do is say good-bye to yesterday’s loves, and hello to the new. Look around and see who needs you most and you won’t go wrong. Forget who needed you yesterday.
