Etched in Sand: A True Story of Five Siblings Who Survived an Unspeakable Childhood on Long Island by Regina Calcaterra

4.0

---

I loaned this on a whim from the library and listened to most of it on audio. It's an interesting memoir about growing up in dysfunction, and Calcaterra structures the story well. Hearing the story from her own voice was great, and I do recommend listening to the audio version to hear the full Long Island accent. 5 stars for the heart and uplifting message, 3 for the writing.
