Gayle Forman’s new adult book is “Leave Me.” Maribeth Klein was a harried working mother who’s so busy taking care of her husband and twins that she doesn’t even realize that she has had a heart attack. Surprised to discover that her recuperation seems to be an imposition on those who rely on her, she does the unthinkable – she packs a bag and leaves. Far away from the demands of family and career and with the help of liberating new friendships, Maribeth is finally able to own up to the secrets she has been keeping from herself and those she loves.
