Casteel 01 Heaven

Heaven Leigh Casteel
was the prettiest, smartest girl in the backwoods, despite her ragged
clothes and dirty face...despite a father meaner than ten
vipers...despite her weary stepmother, who 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 dream of Heaven
and the children forever!
