"A new novel from V.C. Andrews, the legendary author of Flowers in the Attic--now a hit Lifetime TV movie!"--
Seventeen year old Kristin Masterwood is thrilled when her father's construction company is hired to inspect the Foxworth property for a prospective buyer. The once grand Southern mansion still sparks legends and half truths about the four innocent Dollanganger children, even all these decades later. Foxworth holds a special fascination for Kristin, who was too young when her mother died to learn much about her distant blood tie to the notorious family. Accompanying her dad to the "forbidden territory," they find a leather bound book, its yellowed pages filled with the neat script of Christopher Dollanganger himself. Her father grows increasingly uneasy about her reading it, but as she devours the teen's story page by page, his shattering account of temptation, heartache, courage, and betrayal overtakes Kristin's every thought. And soon her obsession with the doomed boy crosses a dangerous line...

I read the “Flowers in the Attic” series many years ago when I was a teenager. Curiosity drew me to “Christopher's Diary: Secrets of Foxworth”. I didn't expect it to be on a par with the original as Virginia Andrews is no longer with us, and it lived up to my low expectations.
Partly a re-hash of the original in diary form, it is the tale of Kirstin, a distant relation of the Foxworths living in our time, who finds the diary and proceeds to read it. Exciting, not! But dire as it is I will probably read the next instalment as I hate to start a series and not finish it.
