6 roles

MIRIFemale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Recently left the Amish community; smart, plain-spoken, independent. Left the Amish at the age of twenty and coped by building a hard shell around her heart.

ERICMale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Outsider; he is an addict and there is a dark core at the center of him that he's fighting hard to keep buried. Deeply self-centered and self-loathing.

RUTHFemale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

Miriam’s younger sister; a "good Amish girl." Sweet, and good, but not simple. Unintentionally funny in spite of herself.

JACOBMale50-60 y.o.All ethnicities

Father; an open and earnest man. Believes the best way to make peace with the deaths of his children is to actively work on forgiveness.

ESTHERFemale50-60 y.o.All ethnicities

Mother; on the outside she seems simple and perhaps submissive, but she has a core of steel.

ABRAMMale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

Amish man; strapping, polite, charming and entitled. Miri's childhood sweetheart and the reason she left the Amish.
