Independant Reading; Along for the Ride; Characters Il

There are some very interesting characters with personalities that I can recognize from other books. But one character in particular I have been blogging about ever since I started this book, and that was Heidi. Heidi is the main character's stepmom. In the beginning of the book, the main character, Auden, and her mom were judging Heidi for her maybe too bubbly personality. And they made me think that Heidi was just an annoying woman from the start. Throughout the book, I have started to realize that is wasn't true, and Auden was starting to realize that too. But then her Auden's mom came into town, and she was still totally against Heidi's store, her clothes, and even her workers! Auden  took some personal offense to the things her mom had said about Heidi becuase she realized that her mom din't know anything about Heidi from the start,like how hard she worked to get where she is now, so why does she still judge Heidi? What I would be interested in doing would be to have a conversation with Heidi. The questions I would like to ask her would probably be asking her ,"Where were you born?", or ,"What kind of lifestyle did you live in?" becuase getting this information form Heidi might explain why her personality is this way becuase it may have been just the people she grew up around like her family or the town's personality that she lived in all together. Then if the reader had some more background on Heidi, we would feel more sympathetic towards Heidi and not towards Auden's mom. But then again, if the reader's knew the background of Auden's mom, then maybe that could explain to why she is so judgmental and she thinks she is right all the time and why won't she acknowledge others opinions.
