She’s given to an attractive, wealthy woman named Kitty (Julie Benz), who on the surface seems great, but deep, dark resentments reveal that she’s a head case with violent tendencies. Heaven is the last to be pawned off, and it’s good timing too because her father begins to have incestuous tendencies towards her. Heaven (played by Annalise Basso) is relentlessly teased at the high school she goes to because she’s smarter and prettier than anyone there but comes from low grade stock, or so everyone thinks, and when her grandmother passes away, it’s the beginning of a new era for Heaven, whose world is shattered when her father begins selling off his children to make ends meet. There are half-siblings too, and it’s difficult to keep track of who is who. In the first one (set in the ’60s), her main character is Heaven Leigh (Heavenly: get it?) Casteel, who lives like a hillbilly with her alcoholic father and exhausted stepmother and all the children they had together.
Andrews! Originally written in 1985, Heaven is the first of two novels she wrote in a proposed series of five books, and she was working on the third one Fallen Hearts when she died in 1986. High schooler Heaven Leigh Casteel is the eldest of five of Luke and Sarah Casteel, they living in the backwoods outside of the small town of Winnerow, West Virginia.Īh, the truly messed up melodrama of V.C. Themes of incest and family taboo run through the entire series, but there’s still something compelling about the movies.
Even if you’re not into watching Lifetime Channel movies, this series is worth watching.
