Anyone who enjoys medical mystery stories and the voyeuristic pleasure of looking at a couple’s marital intestinal fortitude will be enraptured as I was with Eleanor Henderson’s Everything I Have is Yours: A Marriage. For movie buffs; think Alien meets Revolutionary Road.  

While I understand voracious mystery lovers, I dare an avid thriller fanatic to read this non-fiction and not also call it a page-turner. 

For anyone dealing with one or both of substance abuse or childhood trauma, or anyone who’s had fond homes in Upstate New York (Ithaca to be specific), Florida’s West Coast or the Big Apple, this book will remind you of all the reasons you loved (and maybe occasionally hated) living there.

At times vindicated by ending relationships that were too stressful to endure and then almost equally ashamed that I didn’t stick it out, Henderson addresses wrestling with these same philosophies and ultimately praying that the cyclical neglect, abandonment and dysfunction stops at her generation rather being handed down to her children.  

A beautiful ode to relationships of all types, 'Everything I Have is Yours' is now available in-store at BookStoreOne Sarasota 12 S. Palm Ave. Sarasota, FL 34236 or online at sarasotabooks.com.
