Etched in Sand, Regina Calcaterra's memoir, is the incredibly heart-breaking and honest portrayal of a family of five children who grew up on Long Island and had to cope with a bi-polar mother and impossibly hard living situations.
In this video, Regina discusses her life and the importance libraries had. These were places where she could better herself. In the library, she read, fell in love with books, and escaped from her present situation by fantasizing about the characters she admired in literature. This relationship in part fueled her love for civil service, and today she is a lawyer and activist.
