Why did you have to go... Away.?

When the sun peeks through a crack in the blinds in the morning, and creates a finger of light where dust fairies dance and play  I always want to catch them in a picture, to capture that sparkly dance, and the pane of light breaking through the dark;   and I always remember "flowers in the Attic".

Did you read that book?   I don't know about you, but when I read it, I read a story of children, trapped by an evil grandmother, and stupid mother.  

I read about brothers and sisters who loved each other so much that they survived the stupidity, and evilness.  

I totally missed the incest, twice over,  I missed the rape, and the child abuse. 

And I never watched the film. 

Do you think maybe at 12 i was too young to have read the book?
