From the outside, Hannah Eaton, Willow De Beers' teenage daughter, lives a charmed life in wealthy Palm Beach, Florida. But deep inside, she is miserable and lonely.
Her mother and stepfather have a sickly new baby which takes up all their attention. Her father isn't so sure that she's his child. Her crazy Uncle Linden is the only relative who has time for her. And her new boyfriend, sexy guitar player Heyden Reynolds, has a troubled family of his own. Together, Heyden and Hannah decide to run away to New Orleans, where they stumble onto a rundown old farmhouse and a woman who is convinced Hannah is her long-lost daughter. At first the charade seems like a kindness, but then things spiral out of control . . .

Cleo Virginia Andrews (June 6, 1923 December 19, 1986), better known as V. C. Andrews or Virginia C. Andrews, was an American novelist. She was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, and died of breast cancer at the age of 63.
Andrews' novels combine Gothic horror and family saga, revolving around family secrets and forbidden love (frequently involving themes of consensual incest, most often between siblings), and they often include a rags-to-riches story. Her most well-known novel is the infamous bestseller Flowers in the Attic (1979), a tale of four children locked in the attic of a wealthy Virginia family by their estranged religious grandmother for over three years.
Her novels were so successful that after her death her estate hired a ghost writer Andrew Neiderman, to write more stories to be published under her name. In assessing a deficiency in Andrews' estate tax returns, the Internal Revenue Service argued (successfully) that Andrews' name was a valuable commercial asset, the value of which should be included in her gross estate.
Her novels have been translated into French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Greek, Finnish, Swedish, Portuguese and Hebrew.
