Runaways

by V.C. Andrews

Pocket Books | November 9, 1998 | Mass Market Paperbound

The spellbinding Orphans series concludes in this thrilling new novel from V.C. Andrews®...

"All for one and one for all" was the girls'' motto. In the grim foster home for orphans run by Louise and Gordon Tooey, at least Brooke, Crystal, Raven, and Butterfly had each other. Calling themselves "sisters," together they could forget the past and dream of a new chance...a real home. Then they discovered a secret even more haunting than Gordon''s heavy boots pounding on the wooden floors. Their fragile hopes of a better life shattered, they escaped the only way they could. Soon they were runaways in a borrowed car, desperately wishing to wake up one morning in a place of sunshine and love.

Raven hoped to be a singer, Butterfly wanted to be a dancer, Crystal planned for college, and Brooke privately hoped to find her mother in California. On the open road the chains of sadness that had bound them seemed to melt away, and the kindness of strangers made a secure future seem almost real. But the highway was a dangerous place, and soon they were penniless and more vulnerable than ever. Alone under the wide western sky, they had only each other to ask if they should give up their dreams...or if they were really halfway to a haven of safety and happiness....

    The story of VC Andrews' 4 Orphans, Crystal, Raven, Butterfly and Brooke, picks up about 3 years after they all meet at Lakewood House. They have become sisters, with bonds so deep that they can pull Butterfly out of comatose states with the power of their mantra.

    Stuck under the supervision of an adoption sabotaging Foster Mom and a children hating creepy Foster Father, the Orphanteers decide to take their future into their own hands. Their plan to runaway works for a while, however they are forced to grow up very quickly. Their roadtrip across country teaches them many of life's lessons. When to trust, who to love, how to survive and when its time to let go.

    Satisfying conclusion to the Orphans series.

    The first four books in this series. My favorites were well all of them. My least favorite novel in the series was Brooke.And for some reason she told the story but in this novel I grew to like her. This novel is the 5th V.C. Andrews novel I have read and farby the best. I plan on reading the Hudson series next and then the ones that come out this summer. Great job,V.C. Andrews ghost writer!

    Anyone who has ever wanted to runaway from home should read this book! It really gets to the core of a problem of acceptance and a place to call home. I read this book and found the ending to be surprising. It comes out happy, of course! Anyone who likes V.C. Andrews has got to read this book of hers!! It's very powerful stuff!!
