On this episode, your librarian tour guide brings you on a nostalgia trip! If you're a woman of a certain age, the very name V.C. Andrews in raised type on a book cover probably made you stop in your tracks back in the day. Hop on back into my Ridic Fic time machine as we talk about the first installment of the Dollenganger family saga, Flowers in the Attic.
