Connie's half-sister, Jules first appeared at the funeral of June Kendall. Jules came to stay with Connie to escape California and has been the source of delight and trouble in Odyssey since then. She's not a Christian, and believes that life is a "food chain."

Buck Oliver first appeared in “The Green Ring Conspiracy” as a cunning con-artist, a partner to the wily Mr. Skint, who made a living tricking people out of their money. After Buck’s time in juvenile detention, Eugene and Katrina brought him into their home as their foster son. Eventually, Buck became a true member of the family, adopted forever and always. Now Buck can proudly say that he is a Meltsner, and his best friend Jules couldn’t be happier for him.

Connie has worked at Whit’s End since she moved to Odyssey. She is spontaneous and never inclined to hold back what she’s thinking, but she has a strong heart for discipleship—especially toward the kids at Whit’s End.

There’s no one quite like Wooton. When he’s not delivering mail, creating new comic-book characters, or looking for new ice-cream flavors, Wooton is helping the kids in some very unique ways.

Penny became friends with Connie through an art class and is now her roommate, even though she occasionally drives her crazy. Penny is a Christian, but she's immature in matters of faith and is easily taken in by deception.
