Flowers in the attic is a fictional story based on truth. Virginia Andrews is said to have met a doctor when she was in hospital who told her about himself and his siblings and how they were kept hidden to retain a family fortune.
In a way, yes. V.C. Andrews was in the hospital for a spinal operation when she was young and developed a crush on her young doctor. She either overheard the story or he told her the story of how he and his siblings were locked in an attic for 6 years to preserve the family's wealth. It is uncertain how much of the story is based off of this truth, but it is believed that she took the part of "children being locked in an attic to preserve family wealth" and wrote her story around it. She also cut back the time in her book to make it more believable.
Yes, it's based on a true story. =]
No it is not.
No, unfortunatley, I Am David isn't a true story, it was based on the novel North to Freedom.
Historical Fiction.

It has often been disputed that this novel was based on a true story. There is little evidence to support the claim, and the book is generally believed to be fiction. The V.C. Andrews website claims to have contacted a relative of Ms Andrews. The relative, (who has remained unidentified), claims that Flowers In The Attic is based upon a true story: "Virginia was a young lady when my dad made arrangements to take Virginia to the University of Virginia hospital for treatment. While she was there, she developed a crush on her young doctor. He and his siblings had been locked away in the attic for over 6 years to preserve the family wealth." No independent verification of this claim has ever been made.
yes unfortunately it was. isn't that sad? I luved the book. It is my favorite book. But yes it is a true story. Virginia Andrews was at the hospitil one day and her doctor was telling her about his family and how they were locked up to retain a fortune. I'm guessing her doctor was Chris.
no, it is science fiction. it may happen someday though.
