The captivating and unforgettable saga of the Dollanganger family continues in Petals On the Wind, the New York Times bestselling sequel to Flowers in the Attic and the inspiration behind the Lifetime original movie and “tortured love story” (Variety).Forbidden love comes into full bloom. For three years they were kept hidden in the eaves of Foxworth Hall, their existence all but denied by a mother who schemed to inherit a fortune. For three years their fate was in the hands of their righteous, merciless grandmother. They had to stay strong…but in their hopeless world, Cathy and her brother, Christopher, discovered blossoming desires that tumbled into a powerful obsession.

The horrors of the attic are behind them…but they will carry its legacy of dark secrets forever.
"The attic was a dark horror that would not leave their minds. Of course Mother had to pretend they didn't exist. And Grandmother was convinced they had the devil in them. But that wasn't their fault. Was it? Cathy knew what to do. Although she and Christopher had escaped together, she knew it was time to show her mother and grandmother the pain and terror that being kept in the attic of Foxworth Hall had caused them...She would show them--once and for all."--Back cover
