The second novel in the exciting new V.C. Andrews series: a young girl growing up on the Louisiana bayou discovers she has another family...
Even after living there for a year, 16-year-old Ruby Dumas still wonders at the splendor of her father's New Orleans mansion and rejoices in the warmth of his love. But true happiness eludes her, for Ruby must carefully avoid a venomous enemy: her stepmother, who cringes and sneers at Ruby's backwater upbringing. And Ruby's every effort to befriend her crippled twin sister, Gisselle, is answered with bitterness.

VC Andrews has always been a favorite of mine since my childhood days. I have read (and re-read) all of her books, and although I am much older now and find that some of her work is better than others, I still enjoy the twists and turns, strangeness and mystery that continues to captivate my interest. (even some of the ghostwriter's work)
