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.
