Mama’s Bible: 
The story of a family of sisters; a widow several-times-over, a pie-making soap opera addict, a typical grandmother, a curmudgeon, and a teenager.

        Magdalena: Mid 60s, the “baby,” bit of a curmudgeon, abrupt and somewhat sarcastic

Laura: 11-13 years old, Regina’s granddaughter, very observant and a smart-aleck herself

Carl: Late 70s, son of Pearl (cousin of the sisters), doesn’t typically socialize with the rest of the family

Words in the Air:

Missy must honor her dying mother’s last request to visit Aunt Paula, to whom Missy has never been close. In fact, Aunt Paula has been estranged from the family for years, but Missy never knew why…until now.

        Paula: 78, suffers from onset of Alzheimer’s, prone to mood swings, sings
