Matthew Sands, born in 1774 in Virginia, was a farmer who survived the “Year without a Summer” in 1816 and raised a family. His grandson, Samuel Field(ing) Sands, fought for the confederated states during the War for Southern Independence. With descendants spread across the United States, including Illinois, Florida, and Tennessee, this book provides a wealth of historical family photographs, documents, and references.
Author Biography
My journey as an author began with Death and Back, a book born from my near-death experience that forever changed my perspective. That moment opened my eyes to life beyond this world, leading me to share comfort, insight, and the reassurance I found in facing mortality. From there, my writing unfolded naturally-Spirituality Not Religion explored the intersection of science and faith through biophotons, ancient art, and enduring symbols of human light, while Christianity and Reincarnation revisited forgotten teachings and challenged long-held assumptions about faith and history.
My most personal work, Family Found: The DNA Journey, tied my path together as I explored identity, belonging, and resilience through the lens of adoption and genealogy. Across all my books, a common thread emerges: truth, discovery, and the enduring spirit that connects us. I never set out with a master plan-each story revealed itself as I followed the call of curiosity and inspiration, offering readers new ways to see life, faith, and the mysteries that shape us.
