MOVIE REVIEW: MY SWEET AUDRINA

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT I JUST WATCHED????
Has anyone seen or read V.C. Andrews " My Sweet Audrina"?
I'm totally confused, so if you saw the movie or read the book, please let me know if I'm right.

The father, Damian Jonathan Adare, played by the HOT James Tupper (Revenge/Resurrection) ( who strangely never ages?) has an affair with his wife's sister and fathers a child, Vera. Though he refuses to acknowledge her as his child. Damian feels guilty for cheating on his wife with her sister and a sense of responsibility for his child Vera, so he allows them to live in his house. The sister becomes his housekeeper and occasional lover. Vera resents and hates Audrina. She acts out to try to get her fathers attention but Vera is one of the first dark, hidden secrets. When Audrina was 9 years old, Vera orchestrated a rape and beating to take place on Audrina. Arden Lowe, only 11 years, witnesses the rape but is too young to prevent it. Why he keeps Audrina's rape a secret I do not understand?
When Audrina's parents find her raped and beaten in the woods, they decide that she is dead to them. They go as far as to pretend to bury her in the cemetery, gravestone and all. The parents can't deal with their 9 year old daughter having lost her innocence, so they lock her in in the house for years, never allowing her to leave the grounds, in an insane attempt to protect her and keep her pure and innocent. They try to brainwash her into believing that she had a little sister, also named Audrina, who was raped and murdered in the woods at 9 years old. They even visit her gravestone together.

The father and mother force Audrina to live in the shadow of her dead sister, which is really her. When Audrina, brilliantly played by India Eisley (The Secret Life of the American Teenager ) gets older, she continues to have visions of her dead sister. After the mother dies, the father, Damian , becomes even more overprotective and refuses to let her out of the house, even going as far as to lock her up in her dead sisters childhood room. After Vera kills her own mother for pretending that she was not Damian's child, seduces Audrina's hot husband Arden Lowe, played by William Moseley ( The Royals) and then tries to murder Audrina, not once but twice, the secret comes out. Vera is Damian's child and she resented Audrina for being the sister who got all the love and attention. So, a mentally unstable Vera grows up with revenge on her mind. She vows to get even with "anyone who ever made her cry".

Damian goes into a rage and lunges towards Vera but Vera, falls backwards down the stairs and dies. It turns out, there was only ever one Audrina. The whole time I thought the father murdered Vera's mother and Audrina but it was just a series of events hatched by the vengeful Vera.

So, my question is, am I correct? Is that what happened? Also, who killed Audrina's mother? Did she fall and have a miscarriage, bleeding to death , while panicking about seeing Audrina going into the woods? Was it a tragic accident? Did Vera kill her mother's sister. Did Vera's mother kill her own sister? I'm really not 100% sure what I watched???? why did Arden Lowe, keep Audrina's rape a secret I do not understand? So, if anyone could set me straight, that would be great. Thank you.
