Etched in Sand: A True Story of Five Siblings Who Survived an Unspeakable Childhood on Long Island | 
so-soBook 101
A memoir about a family of five kids growing up with a mother who is an alcoholic that moved them from one disastrous place to another and would disappear for months at a time. It was a quick, sad read, but not meritorious of a recommendation.
pick🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Incredibly difficult to read but so important!
pickThis was a really heartbreaking story about a horrific childhood in and out of the system. It was a little reminiscent of The Glass Castle. The writing was extremely compelling and it was really great on audio. Definitely recommend for people who like this type of memoir.
I am 3 chapters in, and my son (6) came up and read the front of the book. He asked me what my book was about, so I told him what I had learned so far. I explained that it was a real story. He shook his head in disbelief. He asked me why am I reading this book if I know it is about something so devastating? Because it teaches us all so much. So much... that otherwise we wouldn't know about, or ways to help. 💔
Three memoirs that show how #vulnerable children are. #noteworthynovember @Jess7
Shout-out to my old High School. 😂😂
Another day working outside with extended breaks. My sister's friend recommended this book to me. When I saw it on daily deals for 1.99 I figured why not.

A memoir of a horrific childhood told by a #survivor who, along with her 4 siblings, managed to grow up and thrive in spite of their early life. #melodicmay @jenniferw88
pickIf there wasn't a Prologue letting you know they all survived, and even thrived, this would be an unbearable read. How anyone could treat a stranger's child this way, much less their own child, is beyond incomprehensible. But the strength and love and resilience of these girls shines through. #LitsyAtoZ #LetterE
pickGreat story of overcoming a difficult childhood. Audiobook is narrated by the author, complete with authentic Long Island accent.
