Raksha Bandhan places a strong focus on the ideas of care and protection. Rakhi (holy thread) is a symbol of a sister's confidence and assurance that her brother would always be there to protect her, both physically and emotionally. Hindus celebrate Rakhsha Bandhan, sometimes referred to as Rakhi, which is a well-known festival. The underlying meaning of Rakhsha Bandhan is that it represents the love and brotherhood that exist among Indians. This holiday is extensively observed in India. In the history and mythology of India, there are a number of tales that describe how this festival first came to be. Mythological Time There is another narrative that supports the genesis of the occasion known as Raksha Bandhan according which Lord Krishna destroyed the devil King Shishupal to safeguard the Dharma on earth. During the battle, Lord Krishna suffered a bleeding finger. Draupadi noticed his damaged finger was bleeding, so she tore a piece of her saree and tied it around it to stop the bleeding. She was valued by Lord Krishna for her love and concern. She had a sisterly affection and compassion that he felt bound by. He promised to pay her future debt of appreciation back. After many years, the treacherous Kauravas won the Pandavas' wife Draupadi in a game of chance. When they made an attempt to take Draupadi's saree, Lord Krishna used his heavenly abilities to save Draupadi's honor.

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.

In the highly anticipated sequel to her New York Times bestseller Etched in Sand, Regina Calcaterra pairs with her youngest sister Rosie to tell Rosie’s harrowing, yet ultimately triumphant, story of childhood abuse and survival. They were five kids with five different fathers and an alcoholic mother who left them to fend for themselves for weeks at a time. Yet through it all they had each other. Rosie, the youngest, is fawned over and shielded by her older sister, Regina. Their mother, Cookie, blows in and out of their lives “like a hurricane, blind and uncaring to everything in her path.” But when Regina discloses the truth about her abusive mother to her social worker, she is separated from her younger siblings Norman and Rosie. And as Rosie discovers after Cookie kidnaps her from foster care, the one thing worse than being abandoned by her mother is living in Cookie’s presence. Beaten physically, abused emotionally, and forced to labor at the farm where Cookie settles in Idaho, Rosie refuses to give in. Like her sister Regina, Rosie has an unfathomable strength in the face of unimaginable hardship—enough to propel her out of Idaho and out of a nightmare. Filled with maturity and grace, Rosie’s memoir continues the compelling story begun in Etched in Sand—a shocking yet profoundly moving testament to sisterhood and indomitable courage.
