Heaven

Of all the folks in the mountain shacks, the Casteels were the lowest-the scum of the hills

Heaven Leigh Casteel was the prettiest, smartest girl in the backwoods, despite her ragged clothes and dirty face...despite a father meaner then ten vipers...despite her weary stepmother, that worked her like a mule. For her brother Tom and the little ones, Heaven clung to her pride and her hopes. Someday they'd get away and show the world that they were decent, fine and talented-worthy of love and respect. Then Heaven's stepmother ran off, and her wicked, greedy father had a scheme-a vicious scheme that threatened to destroy the precious dreams of Heaven and the children forever!
