Out of the Attic by V. C. Andrews

 Corrine Foxworth is married to Garland Foxworth. The have a son named, Malcolm.  They live in a beautiful estate and are incredibly wealthy. Garland is incredibly dedicated to his work and is seldom home. Corrine's life is lonely. She only has the housing staff and her son to keep her company. She feels unloved and suffocated. She is only 21 years old. She needs excitement in her life, she hasn't traveled and has no friends. Corrine decides to join a group of women, which eventually leads her to get her portrait done by an artist. This encounter will forever change her life and the life of her son. 

This is an easy read. It sets the roots of the Foxworth/Dollanganger family. It isn't masterpiece writing but it is entertaining enough. Corrine is a flawed often at times an unlikeable character but you get a better understanding of why she made some of the choices she did.
