June: Only 17 but most don't think she's a day over 14. She's lived most of her life in the shadows of Boss Wright's ranch. In fact, she was born there. Her dad says she was born in the barn. She hasn't quite completed her high school education due, to dire circumstances on the ranch. June is certain she might never get off the property. She feels stranded in the outback of west Texas.
Boone: Is June's closest neighbor and friend. He lives just over a rocky hill, but its infested with rattlesnakes, so usually he comes to see her, ever so often. He's worried about her, wondering why she isn't in school. He feels certain he needs to save June from something, but he's not sure what.
Augustine: June's older sister who never liked living in the country, anyway. She ran away from home and June hasn't heard much from her. She thought she was destined to marry Ramon in San Antonio..but it didn't quite work out that way.
Joel: Augustine's mysterious baby. June has heard from her sister from time to time, but she never mentioned she was having a baby.
Ramon: Someone Augustine met at a Country and Western Disco. He is a carpenter by trade, but has gone to the oil fields of Wyoming.
Dax: June can hardly talk in his presence. He's a poor little rich boy who has everything going for him. June knows she will never be in his circle of friends, but from afar he's her unrequited love. Sometimes, she thinks the more she gets to know him..she just might hate him.
Austin: Boss Wright's grandson. An acquaintance of Augustine's. A romance in the making, but it was never quite right.
Maria: Ramon's wife that he neglected to tell Augustine about.
Boss Wright: The owner of the ranch where June lives. He's old. He can be mean. Maybe even crazy.
Javie: June's dad who has been working for Boss Wright for a very long time.
