After years of struggling to get Hollywood's attention,
CLAIRE GREENE, 29, finally gets her big break. She lands a
supporting role in a romantic comedy starring box-office
bad boy, Alan Handler. Unfortunately, Alan bails a week
before shooting begins, citing script differences and a
sudden desire to check out an Ashram in Idaho. With
Claire's agent. "It's no use," Claire e-mails her father."The only film
I'll ever star in is an x-ray. I'm thinking of moving
home." Not that she's anxious to reunite with her oooh-
lets-go-to-Applebees family in Plainview, Long Island. Not
that she thinks the prospects for love are better in New
York (although in L.A, men drink hydrogen peroxide
cocktails and wear fur coats). Ultimately, she packs it in
because she's had it with being overlooked, underpaid,
stood up, felt up, compromised, criticized, lied to and
laughed at. And that's just on Monday's. Sadly, she never expected to return home broke and alone.
Or to find the same crummy mattress and clearance-bin
comforter still on her bed. Or her twentysomething
siblings, Adam and Lindsey, still calling dibs on the
bathroom and the computer. Or her parents, Lenny and
Roberta, still bickering 24/7. How could she possibly be
related to these people? Maybe she isn't. A week before her thirtieth birthday, Claire heads to
Miami to visit her grandmother and to visit a South Beach
modeling agency specializing in booking butt doubles for
film producers. At this point, even a "back door"
opportunity is worth pursuing.
On the flight down, the elderly passenger seated next to
her is anxious to make conversation. Claire blows the man
off, preferring instead to get lost in her "People"
magazine. But no sooner does the plane reach a comfortable
cruising altitude than he clutches his shirt and collapses
on her tray table. Flight 1311 was Abe Fabrikant's final
boarding call. Claire is so wrought with guilt for ignoring the man, when
the plane makes an emergency landing in Jacksonville, she
gets off with "the body", meets his next of kin (a one-man
Miami heat wave), and concocts a story about how she and
Abe connected like dots. It's a decision that will turn
her life upside down forever, for although she knew
nothing of his existence, there is, indeed, a connection.
A very close connection. Get ready to lift off on a spiritual adventure that
promises love, laughter, oh-my-God secrets, and a ride to
the "other side" you'll never forget. For once Abe
inhabits her soul, Claire discovers she is actually
clairevoyant. A girl who knew nothing of her real past,
but now her future is coming in loud and clear. Enjoy the journey, but lock the bathroom door. You're not
coming out until you've read to the very end of CLAIRE
VOYANT.
