In "Lilies of the Field," the main character is Homer Smith, an African American itinerant laborer who stops to help a group of German nuns led by Mother Maria. The nuns, including Sister Agnes and Sister Gertrude, seek to build a chapel in the desert. The story explores themes of faith, community, and the impact of kindness as Homer becomes deeply involved in their mission. Each character represents different aspects of resilience and spirituality against a backdrop of cultural and racial challenges.
