Amanda Childs, Attorney at Law, also moonlights as parish organist at St. Catherine's Episcopal Church, Mainville. A widow, she lost her husband Andrew, an FBI agent, four years ago when he was mysteriously killed. The details of his death were never disclosed by the authorities.

Amanda has never remarried. Instead, Amanda has thrown herself into her law practice, as well as immersed herself in the musical and church activities in the small town of Mainville. Her dear friend and constant companion is Marjorie Witherspoon, an older and wealthy woman who lost her husband and daughter, Amanda's best friend, in an automobile accident fifteen years earlier. Together they are active in church and community activities.
