Description

Houghton Mifflin; 1988 1st Trade Hardcover, 1st Printing.

When the one you loved abandoned you, leaving a note filled with accusations you could not answer, you needed a piece of angry candy. When death took another, and you burned to say final words never spoken, again the angry candy. When you peered into the abyss, angry candy would have sustained you. Here is the bittersweet: you are not alone.
