THEIR DARKEST SECRETS WOULD TURN TO SHAME, AND HAUNT THEIR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN
Olivia Wmdfield's hopes blossomed when the dashing Malcolm Foxworth asked her to marry him. But her hopes withered like flowers in the scorching sun when his true nature was revealed. Foxworth Hall, the beautiful home that should have given them both so much happiness, became like a prison to her, with Malcolm the cruellest of jailers.
Suddenly, unexpectedly, the hand of friendship was offered to Olivia when Alicia, her father-in-law's new young bride, came to Foxworth Hall. The two women were unlikely companions, but soon the laughter of their youth filled the gloomy place. The only thorn in their sides was the looming shadow of Malcolm, whose dark desires were to sow the seeds of a shocking secret that would lead in time to a darkened, locked attic room ...
GARDEN OF SHADOWS is the latest compelling bestseller by the international million-copy-selling author of FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC, PETALS ON THE WIND, IF THERE BE THORNS and SEEDS OF YESTERDAY.

Work Description
Dollanger Series #5
Garden of Shadows is the "prequel" to V.C. Andrews' phenomenally popular Dollanganger series that began with Flowers in the Attic and continued with Petals on the Wind, If there Be Thorns, and Seeds of Yesterday.
In Garden of Shadows we travel back in time to meet Malcom Foxworth when he was young, dashing, filled with ambition. On a trip to Connecticut he meets Olivia Winfield. Tall, stern, bookish, Olivia has resigned herself to being an old maid--until the handsome Malcom Foxworth proposes. Suddenly she has a new chance at a happy life. But soon after she arrives at Foxworth Hall, shadows begin to gather and Malcom's dark side emerges.
Malcom's father returns, accompanied by a child bride, and Malcom becomes obsessed with the pretty, vibrant young woman. Children are born: three boys and one special, beautiful girl. One of these children will hold the key to the shocking secret that will taint the Foxworths forever--a secret known only to the older generation, a secret that will reveal, at last, why Malcom Foxworth and his wife become evil.
Once again, V.C. Andrews spins an enthralling tale of a tangled web of family emotions.
