In AppleScript, I use: 

      set myStory to parent story of text frame 1 of document 1 whose label
      is "MainStory"




To do the same in JavaScript, I use: 

      myStory = app.documents[0].textFrames.item('MainStory').parentStory;




It has a bass-ackwards feel to it, but it's essentially the same. In both cases, myStory ends up with a reference to the main story of my document, which I've previously identified by labeling one of its text frames "MainStory".
