The prequel to the best-selling family saga novel, The Girl in the Lighthouse.

LOVE & WAR, SIN & LIES
Upon the onset of the Civil War, majestic Sutton Hall reigned supreme. Thomas Arrington is one of the wealthiest plantation owners in all of Savannah, Georgia and showers his beautiful only daughter, Amelia, with not only his immense fortune, but his undivided love. Amelia happily shares her life with Hattie, and Mammy Abigail; slaves of the plantation, who live in the Big House as members of the Arrington family. Her unmistakable beauty goes noticed by everyone, especially the married, Perry Montgomery, and the handsome house-guest, Colonial Warren Stone.

Life as Amelia knows it suddenly comes to an end after her beloved father marries stone-cold, widowed aristocrat, Eugenia Norris. Her once innocent, protected, world begins to fall apart as her stepmother loathes everything about her. The smooth running plantation turns upside down during Eugenia’s iron rule, and Amelia is torn away from Hattie, Mammy, and worst of all, her own father. Amelia believes her only hope of escaping the fury of her evil stepmother is in the hands of Patrick-Garrett; the mysterious son of her fathers first marriage, whom Amelia never knew existed.

However, Amelia isn't prepared to face her unspeakable, indecent feelings towards Patrick-Garrett. What happens next will change the course of her life forever, leaving shocking family secrets for generations to come.

Loved this series. This particular book is a prequel and going back to the life of Amelia (Lillian's mother) as a child and explains why Amelia and Patrick-Garret were so secretive. A great series which details the lives of all characters and does not leave you hanging and wondering what happened to them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book!

This was not my favorite book in the series. Some parts of the book were very hard to read. I am a big fan of the series but was dissapointed in this book. I gave it 4 stars because I really want people to read this author. I felt like the men in this book were very weak. I can't understand why they would allow some crazy woman to control them the way they did. I hope the author will take note of this. My favorite book in the series is the second book and this was my least favorite but feel like people should read this author. I hope the author will go on to write more stories.

As good as the first two, and really does a good job of tying the whole story together. Sheds a lot of light on characters on the earlier novels.

A pretty decent novel although the author sometimes went overboard with extra details. Set during the Civil War, it is a mixture of "flowers in the attic" and "gone with the wind" as another reviewer pointed out. Beautiful lonely girl? check. Evil, mean step mother? check. Long lost relative who falls for half sister? check. A campy read but sure to peak anyone's interested if he or she is a fan of V.C. Andrews.
