Characters

• Susan (Sue) Baxter nee O'Neill. The corporate wife. Early forties. Tall, slender, blonde, blue eyed. Very particular about her clothing, hair, makeup, etc. Always elegant and concerned about appearances. Lives through her husband's career and her children's accomplishments. Conservative in all matters. Resistant to change. Somewhat judgemental of those who don't conform to her world view. Still she finds herself strangely intrigued by eccentric personalities.Ironically, her childhood was the opposite of her current life. Her parents were artists who traveled the world, never staying anywhere for long. This lack of stability had a negative affect on her and, in her early adulthood, she was driven to create that stability with an intense loyalty to friends and also by marrying her first boyfriend. Fortunately (?), her choice was exactly the type of man who would provide her "ideal" life.Married life went smoothly for Sue until her children reached their teenage years and begin to rebel against her restrictions.
