Every Grain of Sand demonstrates the resilience of humans.
Every Grain of Sand is a dramatic memoir that takes readers on one man’s journey from despair and addiction to freedom and love. It would be an understatement to say that David Wichman had a difficult childhood, having endured sexual abuse coupled with religious hypocrisy when he was only six. Physical abuse and torment became part of David’s routine. Feeling “perpetually confined and routinely silenced,” David chose to opt into the foster system for relief. He spent years looking for the familial love denied him and instead found the lure of drug addiction. The story climaxed as David found himself facing up to 55 years in prison for crimes related to his drug habit.
It is abundantly clear that David Wichman is a master of finding the good in a bad situation. The whole memoir reads like an exciting fiction book filled with dramatic turns. Wichman has a knack for putting the reader in the story as he recalls it with just the right amount of emotion. I was touched by his capacity for love and forgiveness. Every Grain of Sand demonstrates the resilience of humans. David Wichman doesn’t just recover and survive… he thrives and extends his brand of empathy and intuition to all who will listen!
