Regina’s Calcaterra memoir, Etched in Sand, is an inspiring and triumphant coming-of-age story of tenacity and hope. Regina Calcaterra is a successful lawyer, former New York State official, and foster youth activist. Her painful early life, however, was quite different. Regina and her four siblings survived an abusive and painful childhood only to find themselves faced with the challenges of the foster-care system and intermittent homelessness in the shadows of Manhattan and the Hamptons. A true-life rags-to-riches story, Etched in Sand chronicles Regina’s rising above her past, while fighting to keep her brother and three sisters together through it all. Beautifully written, with heartbreaking honesty, 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.

Regina! You ROCK😍 I admire you. You go girl. This book reminds me of the film I watched a while ego ”Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story” If someone liked this book I recommend to watch this film aswell.

En mycket bra bok. Jag kände inte till författaren innan. Tuff barndom där syskon får ta över föräldrarollen för de yngre, när ingen pappa finns och mamman sviker. Samtidigt som man blir ledsen över de tuffa betingelserna så blir man lika glad över att barnen blir vuxna som klarar sig bra! Ger hopp.
