Hosanna was church raised. This meant a daily bible class, memorisation of quotes, three services on a Sunday and preaching under the constant tutelage of her father - Pastor Drake. As a result, she has rigid ideas of right and wrong. She can be naïve and loud, but she's not silly or stupid. At times she's pious, gauche and self-righteous, but she always has a big heart. Hosanna felt helpless when she was unable to save her mother, Althea Drake, when she died. So Hosanna began training to be a nurse to help others. Her high principles and awkward manner tend to scare men off, so Leah and Chantrelle's offer seems to be a good way to negotiate a husband. But Hosanna has never left her bubble, let alone Jamaica, the outside world she discovers is full of sin and danger. Although she's unafraid to speak her mind, she's prepared to learn and is guided by her trust in God. Over series one, Hosanna's faith is tested when a shameful deep-seated secret surfaces. Hosanna is forced on a journey of growth and independence. She must resolve her lingering father issues, before that relationship taints any possibility of love. But that's easier said than done when the answer, for once, isn't in Hosanna's beloved bible.
