Publisher Description
A major Lifetime movie event—the novel that captured the world's imagination and earned V.C. Andrews a fiercely devoted fanbase. Book One of the Dollanganger Family series.
At the top of the stairs there are four secrets hidden. Blond, beautiful, innocent, and struggling to stay alive…
They were a perfect family, golden and carefree—until a heartbreaking tragedy shattered their happiness. Now, for the sake of an inheritance that will ensure their future, the children must be hidden away out of sight, as if they never existed. Kept on the top floor of their grandmother’s vast mansion, their loving mother assures them it will be just for a little while. But as brutal days swell into agonizing months and years, Cathy, Chris, and twins Cory and Carrie realize their survival is at the mercy of their cruel and superstitious grandmother…and this cramped and helpless world may be the only one they ever know.
Book One of the Dollanganger series, followed by Petals in the Wind, If There be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, and Garden of Shadows.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
It’s the ‘70s. Four children are locked away in the upper rooms of a grand house; their mother and fundamentalist grandmother have imprisoned them to secure an inheritance. As years of deprivation and horrifying punishments pass, older siblings Cathy and Chris mature and their dreams and desires become more adult. V.C. Andrews made her name as the author of this dramatic family saga laced with hidden secrets and forbidden love. Flowers in the Attic remains an irresistible and sometimes shocking page-turner.

Floors In The Attic
Fantastic book, couldn't put it down. Andrews painted this book so realistically, you felt all the pain & happiness these poor children felt. Great novel can't wait to read the sequel.
Awesome
This was one of the few books I thoroughly enjoyed reading when I was younger. It is so sick and twisted but so beautiful at the same time. I love how much love and dedication Cathy has to her siblings and I can completely relate to every aspect of her character. This will always be a favorite for me.
Not as good as I remembered
Some things from your teenage years should not be revisited, and this book is one of them.
I remember devouring this book (and all the others in the series) when 12/13 years old, and after re reading it some 20 years later I was really disappointed at how bad I found this book to be!
Lucky it was free...
