As a young girl in France, Marlena Hunterβs life was a fairy tale. She had a talented artist for a father, a doting mother, and a brother she couldnβt be closer to. She loved her family; she just didnβt know what her family actually was.
When a car crash kills their parents, Marlena and Yvon lose not only France, but also their identity. Sent to Richmond, Virginia, they arrive at the home of two aunts theyβve never met before, who tell them that their true last name is Dawson, that their father had fled the family years backβand that now the family is calling in the debt.
Trapped in a mansion with as many secrets as rooms, Marlena yearns for escape. But in America, you can either make friends or make profit, and Yvon suddenly seems much more interested in the latter. While he is free to leave the house, Marlena is left to avoid lecherous tutors and the secretary-to-wife track expected of a woman. Caught between mastering the game to escape it and falling prey to its allure, she needs to learn fastβfor Malcolm Foxworth has cast his eye in her direction. And no family name can protect her from the twisted roots of the Dollanganger family tree.
