What's the Contraversy

The Sand Between My Toes is comprised of provocative writings which are emotionally charged. This book is an explosion of emotional expression.

With the component of political science and social science - touching on the poverty issues in Vancouver British Columbia, students are using The Sand Between My Toes to advance their understanding about a fairly controversial reality of life and hardships endured by the poor living here, in wealthy Canada.

The Sand Between My Toes touches another controversial topic which is avoided in our schools today as parts of the book allude toward belief in God and faith in a loving God. This concept advertises a part of Canadian culture and religion which has become less and less accepted as the world is tired of Christian hypocrisies and is openly is exploring various different world religions.

The Sand Between My Toes, without becoming preachy or overbearing touches on a foundational Canadian religious tradition as the character cries out to God the Father in Heaven and to Jesus for help when circumstances are overwhelming or impossible. This book demonstrates the potential triumph over heartache and poverty's symptoms by doing so.
