Everything Must Go by Elizabeth

Let It Go
To those on the outside, the Powells are a happy family, but then a
devastating accident destroys their fragile façade. When seven-year-old
Henry is blamed for the tragedy, he tries desperately to make his parents
happy again. As Henry grows up, he is full of potential -- a talented
sportsman with an academic mind and a thirst for adventure -- but soon he
questions if the guilt his parents have burdened him with has left him
unable to escape his anguished family or their painful past. With a
delicate touch and masterful attention to detail, New York Times
bestselling author Elizabeth Flock invites us to meet a man both ordinary
and extraordinary, and to experience a life that has yet to be lived.
Personal Review: Everything Must Go by Elizabeth Flock
It's no fairy tale. Our character, Henry, seemingly has allowed life to give
him a swift kick in the gut. Once upon a time, he was part of a 'normal'
family. Something tragic occured to this family in Henry's childhood, and

the train jumped the tracks. Living on afterwards affected all involved. In
spite of this, Henry seemed destined for glory. A heroic athlete, he was off
to full-ride scholarship doing something he was good at and something he
loved. But life doesn't always work that way. The tragedy wouldn't go
away, and Henry pulled himself from the path of greatness, blinded by a
sense of duty. Once he yielded to this duty, he doomed himself to a banal
existence. As time rolled by, he could do nothing to break from this other
path which led to nothing but misery. He would make attempts, but would
always be reminded how far he had fallen. As his source of income shuts
their doors on him, we are left hoping that acts as a cold splash of water as
indeed, everything must go.
This is the first book written by Ms. Flock that I have read, and I will
definitely read more. I read this book in two sittings. I found Henry's
characterization to be fascinating. He felt he was doing the right thing,
though it made him a loser. Surving a tragedy brings much baggage, and
this kind of baggage just attracts more and more until the weight of burden
can grind a human soul numb. So just say no to baggage and let it go.
