It was a game of happy families.

The four children had such perfect lives in such a happy, golden family

It was a game of hide and seek.

Their father died suddenly The children now lived alone, hidden in the airless attic.

It was a case of tender, loving murder.

Their mother promised they would stay only long enough to inherit the fortune. But gradually she forgot how much she adored those children.

Flowers in the Attic: the compelling story of a family betrayal and heartbreak, love and revenge.
