The Boatwright Sisters.

August Boatwright: the eldest of the Boatwright sisters. August is a nurturing beekeeper, she is a deep thinker, highly spiritual and leads most of the Daughters Of Mary Ceremonies. She is a well-respected businesswoman in the community although she still has to deal with the racism and prejudices faced by all African Americans in the South during that time period.
June Boatwright: the sister of May Boatwright and August Boatwright. She is a school teacher and talented musician who is bitter about life and refuses to marry after being left at the altar many years before. She goes to local hospitals and nursing homes where people are dying and will play her cello privately for them as a way to send their souls to heaven.
May Boatwright: the sister of August and June Boatwright. She had a twin sister, April, who died when she was younger, she is abnormally sensitive and caring, and has somewhat of a childlike nature about her. Whenever she is upset she sings "Oh Suzanna" and also built a "wailing wall" in the backyard where her sisters send her when she starts getting too upset. She is highly sensitive to pain of others and the world in general, carries the weight of the world in her soul. After she finds out that Zach had been sent to jail, she tells everyone she's going to the wailing wall, when she really went to the river and drowned herself out of grief.
