The Umbrella series centers on a girl raised in seclusion by a woman she knows only as the Umbrella Lady. The first book introduces their strange relationship, and The Umbrella Lady (2021) and Out of the Rain (2021) continue the story as the girl grows older and starts to question everything she has been told.

Written by Andrew Neiderman, the series uses the familiar V.C. Andrews setup of a young woman trapped under someone’s control, but the isolated, almost fairy-tale quality of the Umbrella Lady’s influence gives it a slightly different atmosphere.
