Summary of Regina Calcaterra's Etched in Sand

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The area where we lived was between the glitzy Hamptons estates and New York City’s gritty, disco party culture. We rarely traveled the main roads like the Southern State or Sunrise Highway.

#2 I was always the one who opened the car doors for my mother, since the interior car-door handle was missing. I was always the one who stepped out and pulled the exterior driver’s-side door handle for my mother, especially when she was too drunk to get the door open on her own.

#3 I was in charge of moving Cookie into her new house, and I was anxious to get her out of the car so I could get the trunk open and remove the beer bottles. I had to move with speed to convince Cookie that we were eager to get rid of her.

#4 The trunk of the car is stuffed with green garbage bags that I and my family packed: there are bags filled with each of our clothes, a near-empty bag with our collective toiletries, a bag stuffed with old towels, and a bag packed with all the groceries we cleaned out of our last place.
