Today, author Regina Calcaterra discusses a memoir of her childhood, Etched In Sand, at a highly-anticipated event at Concordia College. Etched in Sand is the powerful and tragic true story of five siblings who survived an unspeakable childhood of abuse and neglect in the shadows of some of America’s wealthiest communities. It is a story of love, pain, and the human spirit’s resilience when faced with adversity.
