HIS CHARACTER INSPIRES THE CHARACTER OF: Reverend Taylor – From Margaret’s story “The Ridge.”  Reverend Taylor travels back to Vietnam to the small village of To Hap to confront the demons of his past.

SAM & PAM – The Johnson Twins who live down the hall from Margaret. Margaret is mesmerized by them, always spying on them through the cracked door.

THE TWINS INSPIRE THE CHARACTERS: Georgia and Gwen – from Margaret’s story “The Mark Across the Sky.” These twins live on the rolling prairie hills of 19th century America. They desire their father to return home from a long journey that has taken its toll on their mother, who has to care for their baby brother. When Georgia sees a strange mark across a morning sky, she’s convinced that it is a sign that their father is returning that day. She talks Gwen into travelling up to the top of Harper’s Hill to look out over the horizon, waiting their father’s return.
