The four children had such perfect lives until their father died. Their beautiful mother was left with no money and they had to move out of their lovely house in the dead of night ... and into their grandparents' airless, lifeless attic. Their mother promised they would stay just long enough for her very wealthy, sick father to leave her a fortune. But by the time he did, she'd forgotten all about how she'd adored her four children hidden away in the attic. Cared for by a vengeful grandmother, intent on cleansing them of sin, days stretched into years of fearful captivity. In their desperate isolation, the teenagers, Cathy and Christopher, and their twin brother and sister were everything to each other - until death came to part them.

In Petals On The Wind, the sequel to the bestselling Flowers In The Attic, the three children who are left remember the dark horror of the attic, the mother who tried to murder them and the death of their brother. They determine to exact their revenge. Cathy, in particular, now has the powers she has learned from her mother. She knows it in the way her brother still yearns for her, in the way all men look at her. She has to put what she knows to the test. To show her mother and grandmother that the pain and terror of the attic cannot be forgiven nor forgotten.
