| Thicker Than Blood by Ilene Rubin |
Best Friends: 1 is marketing 1 is management, 1 gets them in 1 keeps them in, 1 gets around 1 gets the crown, No 2 are more alike and there has never been an uglier fight Best Friends: The magic and the madness The glory and the sadness The sunshine and the dark The song of a raven or a lark? Where there is one there is a 2nd heart Until truth pulls them apart Best Friends: Frick & Frack Pete & Repeat Flip Side of the Same Coin Like Peas & Carrots Ever see two best friends walking together side by side? Ever see the Patty Duke Show? . . "They laugh alike, they walk alike, At times they even talk alike, You can lose your mind, When cousins are two of a kind!" Music By: "Sid Raimin" Lyrics By: "Robert Wells" |
| Center City Philadelphia and the beautiful surrounding areas of Montgomery County The rugged cliffs of Malibu, California The 1970's, a licentious era of drugs, sex and rock n’roll The year 2023; a future that is not only plausible but probable Thicker Than Blood explores the flip side of human nature and best friendship. Starkly contrasted to that is the purity of elemental emotions that we all perceive as universal: love jealousy greed revenge devotion loyalty anger frustration betrayal obligation survival All of the characters in Thicker Than Blood reveal emotions that dare to be so very human in their frailties, that tempt disaster and risk everything for the sake of personal dreams, for love. And in the end, what does it take to bring two sworn enemies, once best friends, back together after 40 years? Every emotion listed above. That never dies ~ it only broils, bubbles, rocks and rolls just beneath the surface. How far will one person go to be like another? Ask Lydia Colmar, she knows. She saw Claire go to extremes that even she could not imagine. Not in 40 years, not in a million years. They were so close they were like Frick & Frack, Pete & Repeat. They were thick as thieves, like sisters, blood sisters. No--they were thicker-- They were like blood relatives--no-- thicker, they were Thicker Than Blood If blood is thicker than water, what's thicker than blood? Ask Lydia, she'll tell you. Ask Claire, she should know. Ask Tucker, who witnessed the whole mess and takes the final action and makes the ultimate sacrifice to finally stop Claire. Ask Ivy, Claire's daughter who wants revenge for a life that eluded her . . . . They'd all tell you, except that they cannot. Claire saw to that and Tucker saw to Claire. Finally, Once and for all. Done. Finis. The End. |
| That magic that is best friendship really does have a flip side. What makes it so symbiotic also makes it so destructive. Lydia and Claire know that. They were best friends. Claire loved everything about Lydia. She didn't merely want to be like Lydia, Claire wanted to BE Lydia. That's where Thicker Than Blood just gets warmed up. Strap in; it's a killer of a ride! |
