JOSEPH - 28, blonde, blue eyes, very handsome in a traditional kind of way - button down shirt, khaki pants, loafers, well combed hair, favors sunglasses, seems very adult, likes motorcycles, football and skeet shooting, works at the local power plant, a religious-middle class-suburban-southern man.
JENNY - 14, skinny, sometimes sunny, sometimes stormy.
ADAM - 17, the cool kid, the first alternative, dark hair, tall, thin, very smart, well read, the lead in the high school play and the editor of the literary magazine. When his younger brother (who will be Senior Class President and Phi Beta Kappa) graduates the headline of the local paper will read: He's more than Adam's little brother.
EMILY - 14, a sponge, listens to everything, a little bit heavy (she already has boobs), a little bit pretty.
