Episode list

High-school girl Heaven is the eldest of Luke and Sarah's five children who live in the backwoods outside the small town of Winnerrow, West Virginia. She is the driven, academically-gifted one and soon learns why the community shuns their family, and then why Luke shuns her: Sarah is not her biological mother; a wealthy young girl, Leigh VanVoreen, ran away from home to marry Luke, then died in childbirth leaving baby Heaven, who greatly resembled her. Luke blames Heaven for his "Angel's" death. Beyond shunning her, Luke is largely an absent father and husband, often away looking for work, and most of what little he earns goes toward booze for himself. Heaven's siblings--teens Tom and Fanny and grade-schoolers Keith and Janey--are her life, and a new bright spot is new classmate Logan, newly-arrived from the big city; attracted to Heaven, he treats her with kindness and respect. Too soon tragedy overshadows the bright spot, Sarah walks out on the family, and Luke sells off his children. He sends her to live with his ex Kitty and her younger husband Cal, a writer she supports financially as he is unpublished. While she tries in vain to reunite her family, she learns the Casteels' other secrets. As she approaches womanhood, she will also discover that she is more her mother's daughter than just in looks.

Based on the second book in the Casteel Series, Heaven has finally found the new life she always dreamed of with her newly-discovered grandparents. Upon closer inspection, though, Heaven discovers that beauty and riches hide sinister secrets and she tries desperately to cope with them.

Heaven is now happily married and ready to settle back in her hometown. But during a visit to Farthinggale Manor, Heaven is persuaded to stay. Lured by Tony Tatterton to live among the wealthy and privileged, Heaven seems to have it all until the ghosts of her past rise up again, threatening her precious new life.

Orphaned and crippled, Heaven's daughter Annie is whisked off to Farthinggale Manor by Tony Tatterton. She pines for her lost family, especially her beloved cousin/half-brother Luke. Without the warm glow of his love, she's lost in the shadows of despair and forced into submission to Nurse Broadfield. When Annie discovers a cottage hidden in Farthinggale's woods, the mystery of her past deepens and her hopes and dreams are darkened by the sinister Casteel spell.

Leigh VanVoreen had to escape from Farthinggale Manor and the secrets she harbored. She fell into the arms of Luke Casteel, whose devotion promised her hope. Only Luke knew her deepest secret. Bravely she bore the local folks' suspicions as she grasped for the happiness that had long eluded her, awaiting the birth of her child and hoping for a chance at happily-ever-after.
