  <default_description>Of all the folks in the mountain shacks, the Casteels were the lowest -- the scum of the hills.&lt;P&gt;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.&lt;P&gt;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! &lt;P&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The Heaven series were the first VC Andrews books that I read. This series sucked me in. I was thirteen and read all of them within a couple of weeks. I still look back at these books being great. It is by far my favorite. I'm not sure that they would still hold the same novelty for me now. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read the V.C. Andrews' books over and over when I was younger.  They seemed so full of drama and suspense, with a little bit of romance thrown in.  I felt like I was reading &quot;adult&quot; books.  That being said, after a while I noticed the same pattern being repeated in all the series.<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33121661">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I felt strange reading this book thinking it was for a younger crowd .LOL But I must say it was good. I am not one for soaps which is what I would consider this book. It was a nice change from what I normally read. It also got me addicted to the author.<br/><br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My mother loves V.C. Andrews books we have them all somewhere in this house maybe with the exception of some of the recent ones.  Anyway the Casteel Series must be my favorite in all her series because it's the series that I can remember the most.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think there was a scene in the begining of this book where the main character is poor and needs to use alot of &quot;bacon fat&quot; for her meals. That image stuck with me for my entire life. Weird. ]]></body>
