The Chrysalis by Joe Ricci

• DR. JOHN SICURA (65): A widower for almost two years, father to Kerrigan and Vicki. Normally easygoing but has grown restless living alone in the big house and yearns for more.
• KERRIGAN SICURA (35): John’s younger daughter. Tightly pulled together and type A. She is the breadwinner of her family, pulling in a high 6-figure salary working a high-pressure job in finance. Can be quirky and funny. Married to Colin.
• COLIN (33): A former investigative reporter, now a stay-at-home dad for Kerrigan’s and his twin boys. Struggles with restlessness and loneliness with Kerrigan working so much.
• VICKI SICURA (39): John’s older daughter. An artist in every aspect of her life. Follows her muse wherever it takes her and always says what’s on her mind, no matter how inappropriate.
• OLIVIA DESANTOS (34): Very attractive and bubbly real estate agent. A real pro who always has a smile and does whatever she can to make the client comfortable.
  The Cure by Alex Dremann
• JOAN (52): Matt’s mother. This is a woman who has lots of stuff, both external and internal. Disheveled but it all works for her—never too much.
