Meet Maribeth Klein , a harried working mother who is so busy taking care of her husband and twins that she doesn't even realise that she has had a heart attack.  But her recuperation seems to be an imposition on those who rely on her. So Maribeth does the unthinkable - she packs a bag and leaves. Maribeth has always wondered who she is and where she comes from: and now's the time to find out. Now, far from the demands of family and career, she is finally able to own up to the secrets she has been keeping from herself and those she loves.
