Leaves by Michael Baron has the makings of a family saga, with its large Gold family in Oldham, Ct. Tyler, a budding nature photographer; Corrina, a controlling older sibling; Deborah, the resident foodie; Maxwell, who seems to have it all and leads the town's Chamber of Commerce; and Maria, a young emptynester, must close a chapter in their lives and begin anew after deciding to sell the family business, the Sugar Maple Inn -- a popular destination for "leaf-peepers." Baron alternates between characters throughout the novel, but the characters are dynamic enough and varied so they are easy to keep track of, even when the spouses and their individual family units are introduced. Each of them is struggling with the close together loss of their parents, as well as the decision to sell the inn that is as much a part of the family as they are. Each chapter signifies a day in their lives as they count down to the last Halloween bash they'll ever throw for the residents of Oldham.
