OUT OF THE RAIN
This novel is the sequel to THE UMBRELLA LADY, and is the second in a two-novel arc. The Umbrella Lady series is a modern twist on classic V.C. Andrews, set in present-day, 2020. This couplet is perfect for new readers to discover the storytelling power of V.C. Andrews.
This dark, modern fairytale is a return to form: a girl in peril, a family that does not act like a family should, and a house full of secrets.
Having left the Umbrella Lady's home, 13-year-old Saffron Faith Anders sets out to find the father who abandoned her there all those years ago. Locating him in a nearby town, she is shocked to learn that not only has he remarried, but that he has clearly become involved with his new wife well before Saffron's own mother had actually passed. In true V.C. Andrews fashion, family is not as it should be; in short order, Saffron's father asks her to pretend to be her niece so that he can continue a con involving his new wife's family. Holding out the hope that some day she and her father's life will return to normal, Saffron agrees, but as the pressure mounts she might just find that going it alone in the world is better than a family that weighs one down.
One of the most popular authors of all time, V.C. Andrews has been a bestselling phenomenon since the publication of Flowers in the Attic, first in the renowned Dollanganger family series, which includes Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, and Garden of Shadows and now Beneath the Attic, Out of the Attic, and Shadows of Foxworth as part of the fortieth anniversary celebration. The family saga continues with Christopher's Diary: Secrets of Foxworth, Christopher's Diary: Echoes of Dollanganger, and Secret Brother. V.C. Andrews has written more than seventy novels, which have sold over 107 million copies worldwide and have been translated into twenty-five foreign languages.
