The two daughters of Jamílah follow in their Mother’s footsteps as far as having traditional beliefs. They have been studying all their lives under her guidance to be medicine women for their tribe. Their husbands treasure their wives and their mother-in-law for her knowledge and skills, and look with great disfavor on departure from the traditional belief system.
All of these adult characters are resisters.
The children, of course, are too young to care about all this, except to want their lives safe and secure.
