SUMMARY:Gayle Forman
DESCRIPTION:Every woman who has ever fantasized about driving past her exit on the highway instead of going home to make dinner\, and every woman who has ever dreamed of boarding a train to a place where no one needs constant attention–meet Maribeth Klein. A harried working mother who’s so busy taking care of her husband and twins\, she doesn’t even realize she’s had a heart attack. \nSurprised to discover that her recuperation seems to be an imposition on those who rely on her\, Maribeth does the unthinkable: she packs a bag and leaves. But\, as is often the case\, once we get where we’re going we see our lives from a different perspective. Far from the demands of family and career and with the help of liberating new friendships\, Maribeth is able to own up to secrets she has been keeping from herself and those she loves. \nWith bighearted characters–husbands\, wives\, friends\, and lovers–who stumble and trip\, grow and forgive\, Leave Me is about facing the fears we’re all running from. Gayle Forman is a dazzling observer of human nature. She has written an irresistible novel that confronts the ambivalence of modern motherhood head on and asks\, what happens when a grown woman runs away from home? \nGayle Forman is a bestselling\, award-winning author of young adult novels. Her novel If I Stay won the 2009 NAIBA Book of the Year Award and was a 2010 Indie Choice Honor Award winner. The film adaptation of If I Stay was released in 2014. Forman is also a journalist whose articles have appeared in numerous publications\, including Seventeen\, Cosmopolitan\, and Elle. She has visited more than forty countries and wrote a nonfiction book about her travels titled You Can’t Get There from Here: A Year on the Fringes of a Shrinking World. Forman lives in Brooklyn\, New York\, with her husband and two daughters.
