Join us for a celebration of the one and only V.C. Andrews – featuring her long-term ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman in conversation with host Jess Allen about his new biography, The Woman Beyond the Attic. The event will also include performances from some of her classic books by novelist Brian Francis; author, sex educator, and television personality Cynthia Loyst, and novelist Andrea Gunraj.

Best known for her internationally, multi-million-copy bestselling novel, Flowers in the Attic, Cleo Virginia Andrews lived a fascinating life. Now, The Woman Beyond the Attic aims to connect her personal life with the public novels for which she was famous. Based on research including Virginia’s own letters, family photos, and a partial manuscript for an unpublished novel, her long-term ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman tells Virginia’s full story for the first time.
