How do I identify and describe Julie and her mother.

Julie is a cute red-headed high school senior who was just accepted at her college of choice, Smith. She lives with her mother and has changed tremendously over the last year. She cannot get the events of last summer off her mind. She gets the "letter," which sets the events of this spring in motion. She had wanted to go back to the scene of the accident and sent yellow roses to the funeral in an attempt to appease her guilty conscience.

Mrs. James is Julie's mother. She loves her daughter and recognizes the change in her. She is concerned that something happened to cause the change. She also has feelings of premonition that often come true and warns her daughter about Bud.
