Blood Is Thicker

Show notes

Rachael and Deborah weren't just sisters—they were best friends.

With a 14-year age gap, Deborah helped raise her little sister, becoming her safe place, confidante and one of the most important people in her life.

But as Rachael grew up and started building a life and family of her own, their once-unbreakable bond began to change. Then, without a conversation, an explanation or even a proper goodbye, Deborah disappeared from her life.

Eight years later, Rachael is still trying to understand how someone who once felt like family and a best friend could become a stranger.
