Name:
Margaret Anne 'Maggie' Cayce
Age (as of Chapter Four):
18
Song:
"A Place Called Home" - Kim Richey (from the album 'Rise')
Maggie thought she would live an entirely unremarkable life. She stood willingly in

doomed to dangle in her wake ...
Name:
Amanda Caruso
Age (as of Chapter Four):
15
Song:
"Winter" - Tori Amos (from the album 'Little Earthquakes')
Amanda started high school with Dexter. She has just moved to Vindication from
Toronto and doesn't know - or seem to want to know - anyone; that is, except for Dexter. The other
kids think she's strange, what with her bizarre banter about the paranormal and the fact that, for some
