The Women of Squirrel Run

Very sweet-tempered, she lapses in and out of dementia and is a hypochondriac. Has a beautiful duet with her best friend, Aunt Rhody.

Sits on her porch rocking chair talking to everyone. Devoted to her church and reading the Bible. Her frail look betrays her inner strength. People come to her for advice, but sometimes it's unwanted. Has two outstanding songs.

School teacher, jogger. Constantly in motion, never stops doing and helping. Wants to get every drop out of her lifetime. Sunny disposition - just like her name. Has 2 funny songs.

Town post mistress/convenience store clerk. Loves an 89-year-old man. Joyfully does everything for him. Very happy with her life. Has two beautiful songs.

Lives in a trailer park with her boyfriend; her family lives there, too. Very unhappy with her life, and desperately wants to get out of this hopeless life of poverty. High-school drop-out. She sees hope when she meets a NYC transplant who influences her life. Ideally, I'd like a very thin girl who looks like she lives on junk food. Has one very funny song and one dramatic song.

Sweet, gentle, traditional mother of four small children. Married to a long-haul trucker who is away a lot. She works very hard but never complains, because she feels caring for her husband and children is the highest calling in life. Has 2 of the most beautiful songs.
