This kind of thing seems to interest a lot of people here and of course I expect you guessed the author's sex.
It's Cleo Virginia 'V C' Andrews, 1923 - 1986. She had two brothers, and suffered from ill health for most of her life.
She wrote The Dollanganger Series:
Flowers in the Attic (1979) [Probably most have heard of this one.]
Petals on the Wind (1980)
If There Be Thorns (1981)
Seeds of Yesterday (1984)
Garden of Shadows (1986)
The ones published after '86 were not finished before she died, so someone else finished them from her notes:
Secrets of Foxworth (2014)
Echoes of Dollanganger (2015)
Secret Brother (2015)
The Casteel Series:
Heaven (1985)
Dark Angel (1986)
Fallen Hearts (1988)
Gates of Paradise (1989)
Web of Dreams (1990)
and The Cutler Series:
Dawn (1990)
Secrets of the Morning (1991)
Twilight's Child (1992)
Midnight Whispers (1992)
Darkest Hour (1993)
Just to establish the premise, 12-year-old Cathy is 'graped' by her 14-year-old brother Chris in the first book. I wonder what deep metaphor Andrews was exploring with her novels?
None of us is Chad so none of our sisters will think of us in this context.
I haven't read any of these books or seen the films by the way, I just saw a bunch of them on sale at a charity stall today which is what made me investigate. Continuing the recent foid porn-fantasy book deep dive we've been on lately.
Cathy and Heathcliff, in Wuthering Heights, are stepsiblings who have incest so I expect that's why Cathy is called Cathy. Wuthering Heights being written by Emily Brontë if you didn't know.
Seems to be an inspiring topic for creative foids.
PS Emily and Kate had/have brothers too.
