The longest-running bestselling franchise in publishing breaks fresh ground with this new VC Andrews series about sexual confusion and an overweight girl's journey of discovery to self-awareness.
'April Shadows' is the story of April Taylor, an overweight teenage girl who, when she discovers her older sister is gay, questions her own sexual identity. The journey to sexual self discovery becomes complicated even more when her father fakes a family desertion to cover his impending death from terminal illness. After her mother overdoses on sleeping pills, April is forced to live with her sister and her sister's lover, who comes on to her and drives her off to live with her uncle, a traveling magician.
April's roller-coaster journey to sexual self awareness will continue in Book Two, when April's uncle, a serious alcoholic, dies on the road, and April finds sanctuary in the strange home of an elderly woman left to care for her blind granddaughter, who has been rejected by her own self-centered mother, another mother in the tradition of 'Flowers In The Attic'. When will April learn who she really is and how to be comfortable with her own identity?
