I got this book from my Mother. I have never read it, therefore I can't provide comments on how good it is, or even what it is about.

RELEASE NOTES:

Sending to Crrcookie in Germany

This book has made it's way to me in Kaiserslautern, GERMANY. Thank you for sending it my way.

This book has been mailed to Oklahoma!

I have not yet gotten the chance to read this book and yet it is one that I definitely want to read someday. I am moving back to the states and will live with my parents in Oklahoma for several months before moving on to the Washington D.C. area. In that time, I am sure that I will want to read some books and so I used media mail to get books from here to there rather economically. It might take this book a while to get there but when it does get there I will journal it again and hope that I get the chance to read it soon.

(This book is in Box #1)

This book has arrived in Oklahoma!

OK so it got here quite some time ago but getting all these books journaled again takes time. I hope that I will get the chance to read a little and enjoy all the books that I have been meaning to get to for so long.

This book was in Oklahoma with me for a while and has now moved to Waldorf, Maryland.

One of my favorite features of BookCrossing is the opportunity to track books where ever they may go. We just moved from Waldorf, MD to Bolling Air Force Base in Washington D.C. and it is time to update each book's location and make sure that we have located each book after the move.

I am trying to set the status of all my books to be correct at this time.

Permanent Collection (PC) means that I plan to keep this book for the foreseeable future.

Available (AVL) means that I have read the book or don't desire to read the book and it is ready to move on in some fashion.

To Be Read (TBR) means that I plan to read it (at least someday) and after I read it I will decide what to do with it.

I reserve the right to change my mind at any time!

From the back cover:

From the outside, Hannah Eaton seems to live a charmed life in wealthy Palm Beach, Florida, with her mother, Willow, a renowned psychologist, and her stepfather. But deep inside, she is miserable and lonely. She's been abandoned by her father, a pretentious lawyer whose family wants nothing to do with her. Now, the arrival of a new baby brother has consumed her mother, who is obsessed with caring for the sickly infant. And so, Hannah slips further into the shadows ....

With the help of her boyfriend and her uncle, Hannah sets out for New Orleans to follow her dreams of singing. But life on the road holds many dark surprises - and shattering realities that Hannah herself may not be ready to face ....

This is Hannah's story and as a teenager she tells it through her own voice. I must say that although I have liked other V.C. Andrews series I don't really care for this one. It seems very shallow and I am not getting a connection with any of the characters. I also think that the storyline is weak and I'm not seeing that there is a plot plan for any of these books. Usually one book builds on another and you get drawn deeper and deeper into the family. Even the tragedys are dealt with in a dismissive way like they aren't important to the story.

I'll continue to read this series because I really want to have read all that this author writes and I am close to that goal. Maybe future books in this series will get better but I won't hold my breath for that.

This book is being released with the other books in this series:

Willow

Wicked Forest

Into The Woods

Hidden Leaves

It is hoped that these books will travel together and find a reader that will enjoy them and also enjoy passing them along.
