The Landry series opens with Ruby (1993), about a girl raised in the Louisiana bayou who discovers she has a twin sister living a privileged life in New Orleans. The revelation pulls Ruby into a world of wealth, art, and family politics she was never prepared for. Across six books, the series follows Ruby and her daughter through generations of Landry family drama.
The Louisiana setting gives this series a distinctive flavor among V.C. Andrews books. The bayou, the Creole culture, and the contrast between rural poverty and urban wealth provide a strong backdrop for the usual mix of secrets and family dysfunction. All six books were written by Andrew Neiderman.
