The big surprise comes in the fifth book and prequel when you find out Cathy's parents were not half-uncle and niece.they were actually half-brother and sister AS WELL as half-uncle and niece due to Cathy's grandfather Malcolm raping his stepmother Alicia. The big issue is that Cathy and her brother Chris have an incestuous relationship as teenagers that Cathy tries to avoid but, among other things, apparently Rape Is Love, and they end up living as husband and wife in an open secret type of relationship. Turns out the reason their Grandmother Olivia locked them up is because their Mother and Father (who died in a car accident making it necessary for them to move to their Grandparent's mansion) were half-uncle and niece and were disowned because they were caught having sex and then ran away. The first two books, famously starting with Flowers in the Attic, focus on two siblings Cathy and Chris who, along with their younger twin brother and sister, are locked in an attic by their grandmother and escape after the male twin dies of poisoned donuts. Present in a benign form in regards to Ben in An Ordinary Sex Life.
