PODCAST: Author Ginny Fite, on The Sunbury Press Books Show
"Leave Everything You Know Behind" is the story of two women who meet by chance, and find how their lives intertwine around the ultimate end. Anne Canfield is a cranky, aging newspaper publisher who believes she will live forever, only to discover she doesn't have much time left. When she rescues a younger woman, teacher Indira Anand from drowning, Anne finds Indira is dying, too and wants to end her life.
Anne has decisions to make--she must save her business, deal with a decision made long ago, and protect her family. Add to this, a vengeful relative discovers Anne's secret and tries to disrupt the family even more. "Leave..." is a story of an unlikely friendship, and reminds of what keeps people wanting to live.
