Flowers in The Attic 

When their father is killed in an unfortunate car accident the  four "Dresden dolls" and  their mother Corrine are left penniless, deeply in debt and having no skills in which to earn a living.  Desperate, Corrine writes letters to her rich mother requesting to live at Foxworth hall with her four children.  She steals away in the night with the children on  a journey into the black night.  She promises riches and everything their hearts desire.  But, what follows  is a bane existence in a dusty attic where innocence is lost, anger is stirred, and life is dark behind the heavy draperies that block out the sun.
