Audrina Adelle Adare was a bright, loving, friendly girl who was adored by her parents. They, along with Audrina's aunt and cousin, lived in her mother's ancestral home in Tidewater, Virginia and the family seemed to be a happy one.

Then on the day of her ninth birthday, while taking a shortcut home through the woods, Audrina was ambushed and assaulted by three classmates.

In order to save her, her father Damian began brainwashing her. In just a few short months, he managed to convince her that it had been her older sister, also named Audrina, who had been attacked and killed by those boys. He turned back time, convincing Audrina that she was only seven instead of nine, trying to give back all that had been stolen from her in the assault.

My Sweet Audrina unravels the kind of tale V.C. Andrews has become synonmyous with, one of love, deception, horror and redemption. Audrina is presented as someone who longs to fit in and be herself, but is oppressed at every turn by others — her father, her sisters and her husband. She is intelligent yet co-dependent, loving and resentful and in the end, she must make the ultimate choice: forgive her family or let them go for good.
