There are some main characters in this story. They are Margueritte, Bailey Johnson, Jr., Annie Henderson, Willy Johnson, Vivian Baxter, Big Bailey Johnson, and Mr. Freeman.

Margueritte is a black girl coming from a broken home. Her parents decided to divorce and sent her also his brother (Bailey) to Annie's House (her grandmother) in Arkansas. There, she found that people did segregation between the whites and blacks. Something which can be managed by the whites cannot be counterfeited by the blacks. Thus, the blacks were limited and separated from the whites' area. Maya is a good girl but at chapter 12, she lied that the mistake of Mr Freeman's rape was derived only from him but actually she also did mistake.

Bailey Johnson is Margueritte's elder brother. He does love to her sister because the only sister who he has is Maya and vice versa. Bailey is a good boy that he never hurts anybody, he prevents her sister from many kinds of atrocities and he understands his sister very much. However in the last he is prevaricated by her sister about Mr Freeman's raping her.

She is a stout-hearted woman that when there are three teenagers mocking her, she just received their deed and prayed that she would get the joy then. She often sings and her song was always related to christianity.
