About This Book
"The woman who emerges from these pages is as riveting as her books" (The Wall Street Journal) in this compelling celebration of the famously private V.C. Andrews—featuring family photos, personal letters, a partial manuscript for an unpublished novel, and more.Best known for her internationally, multi-million-copy bestselling novel Flowers in the Attic, Cleo Virginia Andrews lived a fascinating life. Born to modest means, she came of age in the American South during the Great Depression and faced a series of increasingly challenging health issues. Yet, once she rose to international literary fame, she prided herself on her intense privacy. Now, The Woman Beyond the Attic aims to connect her personal life with the public novels for which she was famous. Based on Virginia's own letters, and interviews with her dearest family members, her long-term ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman tells Virginia's full story for the first time. Perfect for anyone hoping to learn more about the enigmatic woman behind one of the most important novels of the 20th century, The Woman Beyond the Attic will have you "transfixed" (Publishers Weekly) from the first page.

Reviews
"Using flowery, dramatic language that is the hallmark of Andrews' novels, Neiderman presents a woman who never let her disability get her down."
"Combining a novelist's eye for detail with personal knowledge gleaned from his years as V.C."
"He also attempts to clarify misconceptions that have arisen regarding her medical condition ..."
"Neiderman does not attempt to explain the appeal of Andrews's novels, nor does he seem to talk to many people beyond her family."
