Who is Margaret Carter-Madison from Hold Still and what is their importance?

Margaret Carter-Madison is Caitlin's mother. She cares deeply for her daughter, and as a result of her daughter's own pain, Margaret struggles to find her own peace with her daughter. Margaret knows Caitlin is hurting, and she wants nothing more than to to help her, but Caitlin refuses to allow her mother to assist her. She tries to isolate Caitlin, she pushes her to make friends, and she supports her whenever possible. Sadly, she is most often met with Caitlin's distance and a lack of focus. It is only when Caitlin begins to forgive herself for Ingrid's death that she can begin to understand her mother's pain. As Caitlin heals, so does their relationship, allowing the two of them to become close again. Margaret shows, through her own pain and concern, that she, too, suffered as a result of Ingrid's death. Her character is one of strength and patience, but also of deep love.
