About this product

Product Information

In this story of perseverance in the face of adversity, Regina Calcaterra recounts her childhood in foster care and on the streets--and how she and her savvy crew of homeless siblings managed to survive years of homelessness, abandonment, and abuse Regina Calcaterra's emotionally powerful memoir reveals how she endured a series of foster homes and intermittent homelessness in the shadow of the Hamptons, and how she rose above her past while fighting to keep her brother and three sisters together. Beautifully written and heartbreakingly honest, Etched in Sand is an unforgettable reminder that regardless of social status, the American dream is still within reach for those who have the desire and the determination to succeed.

    This book is riveting- once you pick it up-you won't want to put it down.

    This is an excellent book. A true life story. It is riveting- once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down. It tells the story of four unfortunate children who were in and out of foster care for many years, but today they are reunited and a real family- a happy ending. The author was truly brave to write this story. It will impact many lives for years to come. It may even help some foster children get adopted into permanent homes.
