The Cutler series starts with Dawn (1990), in which a teenage girl learns that the family she grew up with is not her biological one. Her real family runs a prestigious Virginia hotel, but her arrival is anything but welcome. Across five books, the series traces Dawn’s struggle to claim her place while uncovering the lies and cruelty woven into the Cutler family history.
All five Cutler novels were written by Andrew Neiderman under the V.C. Andrews name. The series is one of the more popular post-Andrews runs, partly because of its resort hotel setting and the sprawling family drama that plays out over multiple generations.
