Dark Angel

Dark Angel is a 1986 book written by V. C. Andrews. It is the second book in the Casteel Series. Summary After the events of Heaven, Heaven Casteel finds herself in the care and custody of her grandparents, the wealthy Tony and Jillian Tatterton, who live at Farthinggale Manor. Heaven dreams of a wonderful new life - of new friends, a good school, beautiful clothes and, most importantly, love. She wishes to make her family name respectable, find her brothers and sisters, and have a family once again. Conflict with her newfound grandparents soon arises, however. Her grandmother Jillian is vain and selfish, while her step-grandfather, Tony, veers from being dignified and generous to being controlling and domineering. The only person Heaven can talk to is Tony's brother, Troy, who suffers from depression. While Heaven is given everything she wants in material terms - beautiful clothes, a fine education and enough money to go to college - she is still unhappy due to Tony's stipulation that she must not see her brothers and sisters. If she does, Tony will cease all financial support. Heaven does not try to see Tom and Fanny, but she does continue to write them letters, and continues her efforts to find Jane and Keith.
