    Love all the books. I wait for the next one to be published. I wish there was a complete list of all the ones published since she passed away.

    Thanks for keeping her name and her books going.

    I have every one of the V C Andrews books and can hardly wait to see if there will be another one. I started reading them when they first came out and I am now 72 and can’t wait. I hope there is another one soon.

      Love her books too!!
      What is the best order to read each series? Does each “family” need to be read in a certain order?

        Makes better sense if you read them in order
