Since 1985, V. C. Andrews has been a prolific and popular author. Now in her nineteenth series, V. C. Andrews continues the story of Roxy and Emmie Wilcox. Roxy, the older sister, has always been rebellious and at age 16 is kicked out of her house. Emmie, the obedient one and 6 years younger, stays with their father. The first title in this series, Forbidden Sister tells the story from Emmie’s point of view and is available for check out at the library. Now the second in the series, Roxy’s Story, tells the tale from the older sister’s point of view and picks up the story after the sisters’ father dies eight years later. Roxy, now a high price call girl in New York City, assumes care of her younger sister. But how can Roxy’s life support a girl still in high school? Roxy makes plans for her younger sister to live in Paris with their uncle, but when Roxy falls in love with a young French businessman and is then jilted, plans are delayed. Meanwhile, being mother, father, sister, and caretaker takes its toll on Roxy’s job and her plans for stability are shaken.
