StumbleUpon may be the greatest creation in existence, aside from written word. I have recently been reading the Dollanganger Family Series from V.C. Andrews. This woman really knew how to write! Her books are full of pain and sorrow, extreme hurt, and somehow coming through all of it alive. The first book starts with Flowers in the Attic, where a family of four children and two loving parents is torn apart by tragedy, and forced to live a secretive life, locked away, in hopes of gaining a fortune. Nothing seems to go right, and soon the four children are being tortured and starved, and one dies. The three remaining children need to escape the cruel tyranny of the situation they are in, and leave their prison. In the second book, Petals on the Wind, the three remaining children finally find some sort of love to cling to and grow on.
If you want to read any of them, here are the links to the Amazon.com site for each!
Stumble It!
