Madeleine Mullins

Age: 22

Profession: Artist

Hometown: Kansas City, MO

Myers-Briggs Personality Type: INFP

Madeleine Mullins has finally realized her lifelong dream of graduating from art school and sits on the precipice of an exciting new career. She’s just wrapped up a commission for a children’s hospital and anxiously awaits her next job. When her Aunt Clara e-mails requesting that Madeleine paint a mural for her church in Shady Springs, Arkansas, she plans to refuse. She hopes to never return to the small congregation that caused her mother and her to leave organized religion for good.

Though her artistic abilities are her obvious strength, Madeleine is also incredibly loyal. She sticks close to her mother and her aunt, even when it isn’t exactly convenient. She’s a deeply emotional and sensitive person. Sometimes this helps her connect with others, but usually it lands her in trouble.

As Madeleine ponders how to deny her aunt’s plea, she realizes that her love and loyalty trump any pain this visit to Shady Springs might bring. Madeleine reluctantly accepts the offer, but she has no idea what’s in store for her this summer in Shady Springs.
