"Boring people measure life by money or prestige, but Hilary Liftin uses candy as her standard. She eats it, shares it, hoards it, buys it, denies it, and glorifies it; and as she reveals her fantastic love affair with it, we read her memoir like children filling up booty bags on Halloween night. What bounty! What surprise and joy this book contains!"
--Jane & Michael Stern, authors of Roadfood and Eat Your Way Across the USA
Hilary Liftin’s lifelong love affair with candy
shapes all her relationships, from her family and friends to her ultimate
choice of a mate. Through life’s ups and downs, candy is a constant that
sustains her. In Candy and Me, her life unfolds in a series of bittersweet
revelations and restorative meditations—from a forgettable fling with
Skittles to a mature, committed relationship with Bottle Caps.
Candy and Me is a passionate, humorous
encounter with the meanings of life found in the yearnings for something
chocolaty, something sugary, something fruity, and something new. Liftin’s
fresh, dry humor will immediately absorb you into her sweet obsessions.
Treat yourself to Candy and Me--being bad never read so good, and you won’t
have to work it off at the gym.
