Publisher's summary

Elle Edwards, who has been told she's a product of her mother's sinful mistake, has never gone to school, never met a teenager her own age, never even been allowed off her grandparents' property. Convinced that their granddaughter is infected with evil, Myra and Prescott Edwards believe that only the harshest child-rearing methods will prevent Elle from becoming an instrument of the devil. When Elle's mother finally returns home and tells a different story of her daughter's conception, Elle worries her grandparents are right. But with the help of a handsome boy vacationing nearby, Elle is finally about to discover the truth about her past....

not as good as I hoped

This story was not well thought out. Too many plot holes and unanswered questions. Underwhelming.

Typical VC Andrews its not

The story was nice at night before bed but there was no suspense or Mystery and it was just a happily ever after story, It was okay just not a VC Andrews book .
