She was supposed to be hidden away. But when the truth is exposed, she can't stay silent.... After tragedy tears her family apart, Jordan March is shipped off by her domineering Grandmother Emma to live with Emma's long-forgotten sister. Shuttered in a rundown farmhouse, Aunt Frances is the strangest person Jordan has ever met. Why has Grandmother hidden away this fragile, harmless woman -- did Frances grow up much too fast, like Jordan did? In the shadows of the farmhouse, Jordan is about to unearth the shattering truth -- and the March family will never be the same.... No library descriptions found. |

The last four "series" have only consisted of two or three books, and, like I said, have been both condensed and neutered. It's so disappointing. Is there a second ghostwriter? Were the "outlines" left by the original Virginia Andrews not as detailed? I've read a decent amount of fanfic on the internet; it seems the estate could have gotten a better ghostwriter.
All this is not to say, however, that this book was bad, it's just not as good as books by this "author" used to be. I was disappointed, but not enough to put it down, or swear off reading them in the future. At times, the narrative hinted at the brilliance this author is known for, but not much came to fruition. It seems like there's at least one more book's worth to tell about this family, either a continuation or a prequel. It could have been more drawn-out. The one thing I'm grateful for, though, is that this protagonist was not as horribly abused as previous Andrews heroines. It detracts from the horrifying nature of storytelling that this author is known for, but it also leads to a happier ending.
Recommended to those who don't have the stomach for vintage Andrews. Not recommended to those who revel in vintage Andrews. ( )
