I Danced on the Sand is the true story of a woman's childhood and adolescence that were wracked with unimaginable abuse. Her survival rested on her courage, tenacity, and a profound ability to create other parts of herself to help her through the awful moments of pain and betrayal she experienced. But, most of all, this is the story of her unshakeable belief that goodness survived within her and that one day it would take her away to a better life of freedom. Anne Lincoln's resilient spirit, radiates through the pages of this book and leads the reader to a greater understanding of human resourcefulness and ingenuity. A quote from the book - "But summer faded into autumn. The weather turned inside out again. My life once more fell into the dark sea of winter with its endless days and nights of fear. The me who lived in summer was only a charade. If anyone had bothered to look closely they would have seen that I was hidden behind a carefully constructed façade of light and virtue. My dark parts laughed at the summertime me."
