I received this book on 6/22 out of 3 boxes of books from my daughter's boyfriend. The front cover was missing from this book when I got it.

c. 1985 -- 440 pages -- Paperback

Back Cover: 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 than 10 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! Introducing the most passionate, most moving series V.C. Andrews has ever written!
