In the wake of the oil boom of the 1970s, Edward Davol leaves a quiet New England mill town to help build a modern nation from desert sand. As cities rise and fortunes shift, he becomes part of a transformation few outsiders will ever witness, shaping economies, forging unlikely friendships, and helping guide a country into the future. But every achievement carries a cost. While skylines grow abroad, life at home continues without him, forcing Edward to confront the true price of ambition, loyalty, and time. Spanning decades and continents, The Price of Sand is a deeply human story about what we sacrifice to build something lasting, and the realization that the greatest legacy may be the life waiting for us when we finally return home.
