The Golden Rope Book

Adrift in a state of "perfect closeness," Doris and Florence Meek, identical girl twins, spend their days chasing butterflies through the Vermont woods, frowning and laughing simultaneously--their mirrored gestures a sign of their uncanny connection. Intrigued by the outside world, Florence trades the luxurious intimacy of twinhood for friendship, marriage, and a successful career as an artist. Feeling inadequate and left behind, Doris settles into a life of self-pity, depression, and despondency that's only fueled by Florence's mysterious disappearance. Only when a writer solicits her help in piecing together Florence's biography, does Doris begin to realize that Florence wasn't all she seemed to be, and that, indeed, she may be the stronger and wiser of the two sisters.Read More

    "FASCINATING."
    --San Francisco Chronicle

    Doris Meek adored her twin sister, Florence. She was only too happy to play in her gifted sister's shadow. And there she remained. For when Florence disappeared at the height of her career as an artist, she had disavowed Doris.

    The world thought the great Florence Meek was an orphan.

    For twenty years this fact made searching for Florence a psychological impossibility. But now Doris wants to know. Why did Florence carve a life for herself from lies and half-truths? And as she seeks answers, Doris begins to solve the greatest mystery of all: her own identity. . . .

    "Fromberg Schaeffer is a highly accomplished writer."
    --Los Angeles Times Book Review

    "In lush, romantic prose, Susan Fromberg Schaeffer uses the notion of twinship to explore the psychological predicament of coming to terms with one's identity, an exploration that takes the form of a quasi-mystery story."
    --The Boston Globe
