Flowers in the Attic tells the story of four middle class children who are trying to cope with the death of their father, only to learn that they must leave their past behind to live with their rich grandparents in Virginia. Upon arrival they are forced to live in one room, with only an attic to play in, for 3 years, 4 months, and 16 days. The book describes, in detail, the struggles they face with their forgetful, uncaring mother and their religious fanatic grandmother. They also face internal struggles as they mature into adults but have no one but each other.

Catherine, Cory, Carrie and Christopher Dollanganger all live in a small town where they are so attractive they are referred to as "the dolls". Their life is peaceful until one night, on their father's birthday, a policeman comes to the door and tells their mother that he has died in a car accident. Without their knowledge, he has left them in debt and they are forced to go to their mother's old house, Foxworth Hall. There is a twist, however: Corrine, their mother, will not be allowed to inherit her father's money if her parents know she has children. Because she doesn't want them to find out, she locks them in the attic and tells them they have to stay up there until her father dies. Their evil grandmother tortures them and their mother greedily keeps them locked in the small space. Christopher and Catherine lovingly take care of their two younger brothers, but bad things happen in their disturbing confinement.

When their father dies, Cathy, Chris, Carrie, and Cory are whisked away, by their mother, to Foxworth Hall in Virginia. In order to survive, the children's mother must try to regain the love of her father so that he will put her back into his will...but there is a catch...he can never know about Corrine's four children, for they were born by an incestuous relationship. So Cathy and her brothers are mistreated and tortured by their evil grandmother. Day by day, week by week, month by month, Cathy, Chris, Carrie, and Cory become weaker and weaker, but there is never anyone from the outside world to notice. Their only hideaway is the attic, the one place that they can go to relive the happiness that they used to know, and only there can they begin to plan their escape, to return to the lives they used to know.
