Just in time to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Flowers in the Attic and capitalize on 5 Lifetime films in 2019, the second in a new three-book arc that extends The Dollanganger Family series to eleven books and reveals just how the twisted, beloved Dollanganger clan came to be.

BENEATH THE ATTIC, is the story of the first Corrine, the grandmother of the Corrine who puts her children in the attic. Consequently, this novel and the three in this arc are set in 1890 to 1915 and have historical settings. This Corrine married Garland Foxworth, Malcolm (grandfather in Flowers) father at the age of 16 because he impregnated her. Five years later, living a difficult life in Foxworth, she falls in love with the artist doing her portrait and flees with him to France. Many secrets of the franchise are revealed here.

Two generations before Corinne Foxworth locked her children in an attic, her grandmother, a gorgeous young girl named Corrine Dixon, is swept away by the charms of rich, sophisticated, and handsome Garland Foxworth. After discovering that she's pregnant, Garland does what appears to be the honorable thing and marries her in a huge ceremony on the luxurious Foxworth Hall grounds. Both families fervently overlook the pregnancy, happy for a suitable resolution.

Now the mistress of a labyrinthine estate, Corrine discovers that nothing is what is seems. Garland is not the man once captivated by her charms, and she's increasingly troubled by his infatuation with memories of his departed mother.
