But I loathed their mother the most, as she had selfishly betrayed and abandoned her own kids just to satisfy her greed for riches. I detested their bigoted grandparents who put ideas in their head and filled them with doubts about their innocence. They had no one to confide in but each other, no sunlight to shine through in that grim attic their own mother had put them in. They had suffered too much from the world, encountered too many deaths at a young age. I just finished reading Seeds of Yesterday, the fourth book of the series which concluded what had been the beautiful yet tragic life and love story of the older brother and sister, Chris and Cathy. The story of the life of the Dresden dolls―Chris, Cathy, Cory, and Carrie―would live in my heart forever. True to Catherine’s word at the prologue of the first book, Flowers in the Attic, the Dollanganger series hurt and haunted me like no other novel I’ve ever read. “…and I will pray to God that those who should (read our story) will hurt when they read what I have to say.” ~ Cathy Andrews’ Dollanganger series of novels: Flowers in the Attic (1979), Petals on the Wind (1980), If There Be Thorns (1981), and Seeds of Yesterday (1984) can attest to this.
