Let Me Go: a novel Paperback – February 11, 2026

Maggie Hoffman. Wife. Mother. Artist. Decades have passed since she left her demons behind in a little white house on Venice Beach, California. But as she walks through the tree-lined streets of her Omaha neighborhood, Maggie’s carefully constructed world is beginning to collapse. Dreams and flashbacks haunt her. A mysterious box arrives in the mail. And a shocking phone call leads her on a thousand-mile journey to a place called Turtle Mountain. There, trapped in a house of strangers, she seeks the truth. And begins to follow a path from remorse to the hope of redemption. Christine Lesiak is an Emmy nominated, Peabody Award winning producer, director and writer. Her national documentaries include In the White Man’s Image, about the tragic attempt to “civilize” Native Americans; Monkey Trial, winner of both the George Foster Peabody Award and the Writer’s Guild Award; and The Road is All, an American Masters biography of Willa Cather. Like her character Maggie in Let Me Go, Christine studied film-making at UCLA in the 70’s, but there all similarities end. Read more
