| When their father dies, Cathy, Chris, Carrie, and Cory are whisked away, by their mother, to Foxworth Hall in Virginia. In order to survive, the children's mother must try to regain the love of her father so that he will put her back into his will...but there is a catch...he can never know about Corrine's four children, for they were born by an incestuous relationship. So Cathy and her brothers are mistreated and tortured by their evil grandmother. Day by day, week by week, month by month, Cathy, Chris, Carrie, and Cory become weaker and weaker, but there is never anyone from the outside world to notice. Their only hideaway is the attic, the one place that they can go to relive the happiness that they used to know, and only there can they begin to plan their escape, to return to the lives they used to know. | ||
