The Dollanganger children are trying to rebuild their lives after suffocating for so long in the terrifying darkness of the attic. The siblings must put aside their past and learn to love and dream again, in order to find their rightful place in the world. Still, dreams of happiness and success are easily crowded out by thoughts of vengeance. Cathy is determined to make those responsible for destroying their childhood pay, from the grandmother who tormented them to the mother who abandoned them. She now has the powers she learned from her beautiful mother, and it is time to put what she knows to the test — to show her mother and grandmother, once and for all, that the pain and terror of the attic cannot be forgotten... --back cover

Review of 'Petals on the Wind (Dollanganger, #2)' on 'Storygraph'

No where near as enjoyable as the first. Maybe it was 30 years ago but today, it was painful to finish. Filled with sexism, what equates to rape but packaged as just what a man does when a woman "leads him on."

I disliked Cathy strongly throughout the entire thing. I think I've had my fill of the series. Not unhappy about rereading the first two books though. I've thought about the series - at least the first book - many times over the years and I'm glad I took the plunge and revisited Cathy, Christopher, Carrie, and Cory.
