Caitlin Madison

Caitlin Madison is at the beginning of her junior year when her best friend, Ingrid, commits suicide. Caitlin is a gentle person, who cares for Ingrid deeply, and as a result, she struggles to understand her friend's decisions. A pretty young woman, Caitlin is unique in that she tends to follow her own path, instead of doing what those around her do. She is strong and smart and yet she seems to be immovable following her friend's death as depression and guilt invade her mind. It is only when Caitlin finds Ingrid's journal, and when she allows herself to understand that Ingrid was extremely depressed and mentally and emotionally damaged, that she is able to begin to forgive herself. By meeting new friend Dylan, and gaining a boyfriend, Taylor, Catlin slowly learns she is not responsible for her friend's death, and that she is not disrespecting her...
