"I will probably be clutching Flowers in the Attic in my gnarled
hands on my deathbed." --GILLIAN FLYNN, #1 New York Times bestselling
author of Sharp Objects
The twisted, beloved Dollanganger legend began two generations before
Corrine Foxworth locked away her children in Flowers in the Attic. The
second book in a new prequel story arc, Out of the Attic explores the
Dollanganger family saga by traveling back decades to when the clan's
wicked destiny first took root.
Married to the handsome, wealthy Garland Foxworth following a wildfire
romance, and an unexpected pregnancy, young Corrine Dixon finds her life
very different from how she imagined it. Often alone in the mansion of
Foxworth Hall, she can practically feel the ancestors' judgment of her
as insufficient--as not a Foxworth. Stern portraits glare at her from
the walls, and the servants treat her strangely. Nothing in the vast
place is truly hers.
Even her son, Malcolm Foxworth, born in the luxe Swan Room and instantly
whisked away to a wet nurse, feels alien to her. With a husband
alternately absent and possessively close, Corrine doesn't yet realize
that she's barely scratched the surface of what lies beneath Foxworth
Hall's dark facade and the family that guards its legacies.
With the fortieth anniversary celebration of Flowers in the Attic, and
ten new Lifetime movies in the past five years, there has never been a
better time to experience the forbidden world of V.C. Andrews.
