Breakdown
Seeking:
Violet Weston:
65. Mother and matriarch, devious and cynical, suffering from mouth cancer, addicted to prescription drugs, experiences drug-induced episodes but is sharp-tongued and shrewd.
Barbara Fordham:
46. Eldest daughter, mother of Jean and wife of Bill, tries to gain control of her chaotic mother, dilapidated marriage, and pot-smoking 14-year old daughter. She has intense need to control everything around her.
Ivy Weston:
44. Middle daughter, stereotypical quiet librarian, mousy, only daughter to have stayed back home, calm and patient exterior hides a passionate woman gradually growing cynical, secretly having an affair with her cousin,” Little Charles.
Karen Weston:
40. Youngest daughter. Newly engaged to Steve, whom she considers the perfect man, lives with him in Florida, planning to marry him soon, can talk of little but her own happiness even at her father's funeral, chooses to lie to herself about her sleazy fiancé.
Bill Fordham:
49. Barbara's estranged husband and Jean's father, a college professor, he has left his wife for a younger woman, one of his students, but wants to be there for his family, his marriage is disintegrating and his patience is slowly running thin.
Steve Heidebrecht:
50. Karen's fiancé, a Florida businessman (whose business, it is hinted, may be less than legitimate), not the perfect man that Karen considers him.
Mattie Fae Aiken:
57. Violet's sister, Charlie's wife and Little Charles' mother, as jaded as her sister, constantly belittles her son and antagonizes her husband. Larger than life personality.
Charlie Aiken:

Little Charles Aiken:
37. Son of Mattie Fae and Beverly but, like everyone else, believes Charlie is his father, unemployed and clumsy, his mother calls him a screw-up, is secretly having an affair with Ivy, his “cousin.”
Johnna Monevata:
26. Cheyenne Indian woman. Beverly hires her as live-in housekeeper shortly before he disappears. The most compassionate and morally grounded of all the characters, at times swoops in saving characters from despair and destruction.
