Publisher Description
On the heels of the successful Lifetime TV version of Flowers in the Attic comes the TV movie tie-in edition of Petals On the Wind, the second book in the captivating Dollanganger saga.
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. Now, with their frail sister Carrie, they have broken free and scraped enough together for three bus tickets and a chance at a new life. The horrors of the attic are behind them...but they will carry its legacy of dark secrets forever.
Customer Reviews
It’s good. I’m just mad
She made some terrible decisions all in the name of avoiding or running away from the exact “place” she ended up being in. Maybe it took all of that for her to finally accept the truth but I’m still mad about it (that’s the only reason it’s 4 stars instead of 5).
Petals on the wind
This was better than the first one
A suspenseful sequel to a major horror classic!
I found Flowers in the Attic to be a great read when I finally got around to reading it YEARS after I had seen the 1987 movie. I already knew there were sequels, but the only ones I was aware of at the time were Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, and a prequel called Garden of Shadows. These are also the only other books I’ve read by V.C. Andrews. And they’re the only ones I ever WILL read. I DO recommend the series, though, even if, like me, you only read these books. Petals on the Wind does a great job of kicking off V.C. Andrews’ efforts to continue the story with its chilling plot about Cathy’s growing obsession with revenge. This book features suspense, terror, drama, and romance, plus a truly gratifying conclusion for fans of the first book. Yes, I highly recommend it! Even if you like Lifetime’s chilling movie franchise, including the suspenseful adaptation of this book, I still really found the book to be much better, even though the movie was very faithful. Read it! You’ll like it!
