A large portion of Lifetime’s epic Book to Screen summer movie series event is devoted to V.C. Andrews’ beloved Casteel family saga. All five stories—Heaven, Dark Angel, Fallen Hearts, Gates of Paradise and Web of Dreams—will be making their television debuts on consecutive Saturdays in July and August, starting with Heaven on July 27 at 8 p.m. EST/PST. And since the Casteel family tree of Andrews’ series is more towering and twisted than a mighty oak, we’ve created a helpful guide to illuminate its winding parts before you dig in to all the on-screen drama.
