This book tells one of the most painful real-life histories I’ve ever read. After being sexually abused when he was just a child, David P. Wichman recounts how he was physical and mentally abused by his stepfather, ignored by his mother, bullied by his classmates, ended in foster care, and entered an almost deadly relationship with drugs that lead him to an even more unstable life, which almost ended in perpetual incarceration. However, we also discover how being a sexual worker saved him and made him become a one-of-a-kind healer that now travels the world.
I admit that I rarely read memoires, but this one proved to be a powerful, motivating and thought-provoking reading. Every Grain of Sand is one of those books you cannot forget once you are with them. It’s not a matter of what you told, but how you did it, and it is done so well in this book that I cried, smiled, gasped and laughed several times.
Although David P. Wichman says he doesn’t remember some details and that there may be some inconsistencies in the book, I found little to none of either. We get a solid recount of raw, heartbreaking yet inspirational events that will make us see the world from a completely different point of view.
I’m still surprised that he survived everything he wet trough, but once again we are shown that sometimes we come here with a mission. David P. Wichman’s was to live to tell the tale and work with Heather Ebert. He’s a living example that although fear, prejudice and shame could destroy a person, we can always rise from the ashes like a phoenix.
I would recommend Every Grain of Sand: A Memoir, to every single LGBT+ person out there feeling they are struggling to keep on living, everyone who’s insecure of their sexuality, every victim of slut-shaming, because it proves things do get better. It will show you how a drug addict walking a walking rope became a successful sexual healer that fucks away the pain, quite literally, and changed the life of many for the better.
PS: There are cute, funny and sexy photos inside. Cool bonus!
