Talk about a dysfunctional family built upon a grave filled with lies and secrets! In trying to hide trauma, a family decides to take measures that only make matters worse. Poor, sweet Audrina. What's most horrifying is that the subject matter in these books are occurring in families all around the world.



Okay, so basically a young girl is raped on her way home to her birthday party at 9 years old. Because of this, the family basically decides to lie to her for most of her life about that happening to an older sister of Audrina's who died as a result when she was 9 years old. There is even a gravestone at the local cemetery that they visit weekly. They also lead her to believe she is much younger than she actually is. Her memory is spotty due to treatments she received around that time as well as the trauma itself. Dad tries to have her rock in this weird rocking chair in a room that was the "first Audrina's". As she rocks in this rocking chair, and sings, she starts remembering what her dead older sister went through (which is, of course, her own memories). Pretty messed up, and it is no wonder that it's a movie on the Lifetime channel.

This is seriously I think the most fucked up VCA book ever written.

It had copious amounts of other messed up stuff to make up for the lack of incest.

I'm actually not a member of goodreads. my online life is very minimal. no social media, etc. just dw, right now.
and I haven't seen flowers in the attic. I should, though. I think I'd enjoy reading vc-seems like stuff I could relate to. could be refreshing compared to my usual reads.
