Aunt Hager Williams grew up under slavery on a plantation in the South. She is an ardent Christian believer and tries her best to keep her family in church. Aunt Hager also strongly dislikes Jimboy for not being a responsible husband and chides her daughter, Annjee, for marrying him. Aunt Hager often regrets the ways her daughters turned out - Harriett is too disobedient, stops going to church and eventually becomes a prostitute, Tempy is too stuck-up and embarrassed by her "low-class" black past; even her piety has become about pleasing white people, and Annjee cares only about Jimboy who takes advantage of her.
