Living again in a humble shack. Ruby is determined to make a secure and happy home for her precious infant daughter, Pearl. Paul Tate ~ her first love, whom she was forced to abandon - is at her side once more, now a man of dazzling wealth. When he whisks her into his grand house, complete with servants, an inspiring artist's studio for Ruby, and a sparkling nursery for Pearl, it seems their future is assured. As mistress of Cypress Woods, Ruby can forget her past, even the shocking reason she and Paul must wed in a secret ceremony, and remain husband and wife in name alone.
But the thick, expensive walls of Cypress Woods cannot shut out the terrible memories that have cast a dark web over her destiny, or the cold eyes of Paul's possessive mother, Gladys, reminding Ruby of the secret she must keep to give Peari a loving father. Then her venemous twin sister, Gisselle, arrives to taunt her with news of Beau Andreas, the true father Pearl has never met, and the only man Ruby will ever long for with all her body and soul.
Desperate to find the complete, fulfilling life she craves, Ruby builds a precarious new existence, a flimsy shanty of hope that the first flood washes away. Only when the storm exposes the very blackest evils of the past wall she glimpse the rainbow's fi-agile promise, a morning of sunshine and laughter with a family of her own
Dear Virginia Andrews Reader:
Those of us who knew and loved Virginia Andrews know that the most important things in her life were her novels. Her proudest moment came when she held in her hand the first printed copy of Flowers in the Attic. Virginia was a unique and gifted storyteller who wrote feverishly each and every day. She was constantly developing ideas for new stories that would eventually become novels. Second only to the pride she took in her writing was the joy she took in reading letters from readers who were so touched by her books.
Since her death many of you have written to us wondering whether there would continue to be new Virginia Andrews novels. Just before she died we promised ourselves that we would find a way of creating additional stories based on her vision.
Beginning with the final books in the Casteel series we have been working closely with a careiuUy selected writer to expand upon her genius by creating additional novels, like AU That Glitters, Pearl in the Mist, and the Cuder series, all inspired by her wonderful storytelling talent.
All That Glitters is the third book in the Landry family series. We believe it would have given Virginia Andrews great joy to know that it will be entertaining so many of you. Other novels, including some based on stories Virginia was able to complete before her death, will be published in the coming years and we hope they continue to mean as much to you as ever.
Sincerely,
THE ANDREWS FAMILY Vissza
