Two books in one: If there be thorns -- Seeds of yesterday

They thought they had left the attic far behind,But the darkness stalks them, ready to claim the next generation…Chris and Cathy have moved out of the shadow of the attic that brought them so much torment, living a new, happy life with their children and their love. Yet the past is not done with them yet. A mysterious journal reveals hidden secrets and opens old wounds, until the anger and hatred that defined their childhood once again dominates their lives.Only forgiveness can truly set them free – but some acts are beyond redemption.Haunting and evocative, If There Be Thorns is the third book in the best-selling Dollanganger saga, still as gripping and terrifying today as it was when it first appeared.

Many years have passed for the Dollanganger family. Jory has grown up to marry his childhood sweetheart, Melodie, and both have become successful dancers. Corinne has bequeathed Bart the rebuilt Foxworth Hall, which he plans to reopen and make the grandest home in Virginia. Cathy and Chris arrive to live once again, forty years later, in the place where they were hidden so long ago. But the past is not easily left behind, especially when Uncle Joel suddenly arrives. Presumed killed in an avalanche, he recuperated in an Italian monastery and is now installed by Bart as the head butler — but is soon poisoning the mind of his employer. Meanwhile, Jory's life is about to be turned upside down — and tragedy, which has so often shadowed their lives, awaits Cathy and Chris once more...
