It has often been disputed that this novel was based on a true story. There is little evidence to support the claim, and the book is generally believed to be fiction. The V.C. Andrews website claims to have contacted a relative of Ms Andrews. The relative, (who has remained unidentified), claims that Flowers In The Attic is based upon a true story: "Virginia was a young lady when my dad made arrangements to take Virginia to the University of Virginia hospital for treatment. While she was there, she developed a crush on her young doctor. He and his siblings had been locked away in the attic for over 6 years to preserve the family wealth." No independent verification of this claim has ever been made.
The novel "Flowers in the Attic" was loosely based on the Dollanganger family, created by author V.C. Andrews.
Resignation
yes unfortunately it was. isn't that sad? I luved the book. It is my favorite book. But yes it is a true story. Virginia Andrews was at the hospitil one day and her doctor was telling her about his family and how they were locked up to retain a fortune. I'm guessing her doctor was Chris.
