''Flowers in the Attic'' is a novel by [[V. C. Andrews]] first published in 1979 and adapted into a film in 1987.

It is a gruesome story of lies, secrets, betrayal and triumph. ''Flowers In The Attic'' is the story of Cathy Dollinganger and her brothers and sister Christopher, Cory and Carrie. Following the death of their father, their mother takes them to live with their rich grandparents, who had disowned her and written her out of the will of her dying father. The Grandmother, a mean-spirited, overly-zealous Catholic woman, reveals the shocking truth about their mother's disinheritance, and that they must remain quiet and out of sight if they do not wish to be punished simply for being alive. As time goes by, the four kids are finally moved to the attic; locked up, abandoned and left to die by a selfish mother and a hateful grandmother.
