"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.
