After the bombshell dropped in 'Secrets of the Morning' and all the stuff that Dawn had to go through, it seems that now, finally, she has a place of her own (even if it wasn't the one she had planned for herself) After her trials and tribulations, the shit she had to deal with at the hotel, the heartbreak Michael put her through, the horrors that Miss Emily inflicted upon her at the Meadows, it seems to us that things should be okay now... right? Right??? RIGHT, YOU GUYS?????
Of course not. While she is able to gain some happiness for herself, she still has people to contend with, namely Clara Sue. And what's that? Uh oh, Phillip still hasn't gotten over her...
This book is a worthy continuation of Dawn's story, and the ending does bring show more some satisfaction. Overall, 4 out of five sars for a good read. show less

Born on June 6, 1924 in Portsmouth, Va., Virginia Cleo ("V. C.") Andrews was one of three children of William Henry and Lillian Lilnora. Andrews worked as a commercial fashion and portrait artist for a time. However, after her father's death in the late 1960s and the family's subsequent move to Manchester, Mo, she began what she described as show more "closet" writing. It was her publisher's decision to use the initials V. C. rather than her full name. This was done for the purpose of neutralizing her gender so as to sell to adult male audiences; the common belief was that men did not like to read books by women writers. Andrews eventually became a full-time writer. Her first novel was a science fiction fantasy entitled The Gods of the Green Mountains, published in 1972. In 1980, she published the bestseller Flowers in the Attic, followed by Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, and Garden of Shadows; all of which comprise the Dollanganger Series. Andrews died of breast cancer on December 19, 1986, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. After her death, her family hired a ghost writer, Andrew Neiderman, to finish the manuscripts she had started. He would complete the next two novels, Garden of Shadows and Fallen Hearts, and they were published soon after. These two novels are considered the last to bear the "V. C. Andrews" name and to be almost completely written by Andrews herself. She left a legacy of books that have been sold worldwide and translated into 13 foreign languages. (Bowker Author Biography) V.C. Andrews' novels have sold more than eighty-five million copies and have been translated into sixteen foreign languages. All 38 of V.C. Andrews' novels have hit the New York Times bestseller list.
