Main Cast

"In the darkest hours of your life, it may be too much to hold onto your sanity. But if you can hold onto your friends -- at least you'll be crazy with a fabulous entourage." -- Fabi

Willow Tanner is a 26-year-old corporate attorney and D.C. diva, living a dream life -- gorgeous and devoted husband, great friends, successful career-- until a jarring event zaps her awake and shakes her to her very foundation: her relationship with Christ.
Yenee "Yaya" Yaret is a 27- year-old PhD. and associate history professor at Howard University and Willow's best friend since childhood. Her students are her life, and she teaches each of them to learn the importance of embracing and analyzing history in order to bring about future success. Marital status: single and incurably hopeful, despite all of CNN's best efforts.
Bertina "Tina" Davis is a 28- year-old Executive Director at a non-profit women's empowerment and recovery shelter in D.C. After befriending Willow in law school, she had an encounter with Christ that changed her life. Previously, she'd battled with alcoholism for years, but her desire to please God inspired her journey to sobriety. Though she has lived four years free of alcohol, the road to recovery is a lifelong journey, and can be dark and painful for everyone involved. Marital status: single and focused on recovery.
Fabioloa "Fabi" DeJesus is a 27-year-old Certified Public Accountant at her own accounting firm in D.C. After meeting rival-college -mate Willow at a Tidewater party freshman year, the two have been inseparable. But even Willow doesn't know that Fabi's unburdened, "just the facts, not the drama," spirit is only a cover for the painful past that she still won't let God forgive her for. Marital status: single -- unless you count her company...
