Let Go (Waldwick)

Let Go examines the consequences of bullying and how George and Amy Terrill's daughter, Melia, is affected by its cruel verbal onslaught and her commitment to the only friend who has shown her the beauty of acceptance for who she is. This is a musical that examines the perks and perils of extreme wealth, the solitude of loneliness, and the frustration of achieving one's goals only to realize that all dreams can become nightmares.

Witness the dark side of institutionalized medicine and TV talent shows where one risks everything for perhaps nothing in this fast-paced drama that delves into thoughts, emotions, joys, sorrow, and consequences of being a captive of one's own past and fleeting fame with mini subplots dropped along the way to add intrigue to the main storyline.

Written, like all Waldwick novels, in the first person, the music has also been completed and is provided to add depth and verve to an already searing look at the worlds of medicine and entertainment where giving everything periodically isn't enough. Above all, there is the wholesome, all-sacrificing catharsis of love: between friends, family members, and man and woman. Hefty on emotion and character, Let Go makes for a must-read.
