by V.C. Andrews

Book Overview

High society was too much for her. One of the most popular storytellers of all time, V.C. Andrews (Flowers in the Attic, My Sweet Audrina) layers psychological suspense with seductive glamour in this provocative first book of the classic De Beers Family series.

All that glitters isn't gold...

Wealth. Extravagant parties. Celebrity status. These are the things Willow knew only in her wildest dreams--until now. After discovering deep family secrets in her adoptive father's journal, she leaves behind her North Carolina college town and sets out in search of her birth family amid the high-class society of Southern Florida.

Using an assumed name and pretending to conduct a study of one of the nation's wealthiest communities, Willow takes the city by storm and quickly becomes entangled with Thatcher Eaton, a young lawyer who sweeps her off her feet. But as Willow spirals into a passionate love affair and becomes intoxicated with the lifestyle of the rich and famous, the dark truth about her birth family threatens her fancy new life, pushing her to the brink of insanity...

Customer Reviews

Thoroughly enjoyable.

I must admit that I had to take a break from V.C. Andrews books for a while because they seem to be the same basic plot redone from slightly different angles each time. They're captivating and enjoyable anyway, but after reading several I just have to move to something else.Willow is the exception. This book has a different feel than her others. While it still manages to capture the mystery and romance of her earlier stories, Willow does it in a different manner.I loved this book, and cannot wait for the sequel.

Awesome! Left me waiting for more in this great new series!

I thought that this book was going to be very bad, just a same plot but with different character names. There was a good change to this book, it left you with hope for the next book that is supposed to come out in the series. Anyway this book was about Willow DeBeers, a nice, personable, 19 year old college student that was adopted. When both her adoptive parents die Willow is left with a stunning truth that her adoptive father was her real father. Willow goes in search of her really mother, who now lives in Palm Beach with her other child. When she gets to Palm Beach, Willow forms a new identity and with the help of a uptown lawyer and his family finally finds that love always insn't what you need.

Very good.

When I first started reading this book I knew it wasn't going to be like the others ones that I have read. But as I read more I got into it and was wondering what would happen to Willow next. At the end I was disapointed that it was over. It kinda left me confused and I can't wait till the next book into the series comes out.

Wonderful... I want more!

I had to admit that I had mixed reservations about this book. I like the mini-series, but was ready for a full length novel again. I had tried desperately to read the Hudson series, but couldn't quite get into it and so I had my hopes that Willow would turn out to be a good novel... and it was. I loved it! It left me wanting more and the surprise at the end with the letter from a familiar face from the Casteels... was superb! Can't wait for the second book!!
