Books like Olivia by V. C. Andrews
Olivia is the sensible, responsible sister of the Logan family, inheriting her father's cold ambition and the weight of his million‑dollar enterprises. While she endures family duties with quiet strength, her younger sister Belinda flourishes in beauty and flirtation, attracting the admiration of parents, friends, and classmates.
A single, tragic night—when a wind‑whistling omen echoes from Belinda’s bedroom—forces a family secret that shatters their lives. The once serene Logan household is thrust into a conflict of loyalty, deception, and grief that will echo through generations on Cape Cod.
Set in a small Massachusetts coastal town, the story examines the dynamics of family duty, inherited ambition, and the fragile line between fate and choice in the lives of two sisters.
