"Satin Chocolate-Covered-Chicken Bones," "Astro Pop," "Fun Dip," "Thrills." The candy stories--outrageous, twisted, hysterical-- were an escape from a harsh reality and revealed a startling truth. Darkly lyrical, sensual, suspenseful, and disturbing, The Candy Darlings is a celebration of friendship, story, and the power of each to help you define yourself--or simply survive.
When Christine Walde noticed a young girl buying bubble gum out of a machine outside a grocery store, she found the initial inspiration for Candy Darlings. She says, "I wrote this book because I was interested in the psychological war zone of adolescence and the hard lessons it teaches us about life." Christine writes full-time in Ontario, Canada. She has a wicked sweet tooth, and was happy to eat all sorts of candy while doing research for this book.
