About

Candlestickmaker is a book in the Amicable Circle. In the continuation of the series, as seen through the lenses of the preceding books Butcher and Baker, the town of Amicable, Iowa, is confronted with the uncomfortable reality that two of its leading citizens, Linda Harmsen and Leo Jensen, have come face to face with life-threatening illnesses. When Butcher, Leo Jensen, nearly amputates his index finger at the butchery, he is taken to the hospital, where he must not only come to grips with the loss of his profession, but ultimately, what will be the turning point in his life. Linda, too, is afflicted with cancer, and as the town rallies around her, she finds a new and difficult perspective on life.

In this book, one will find a connection with all the emotions of life, death and everything in-between. What happens to relationships when death creeps into the picture? What happens to communities that can't understand why bad things happen to good people? What happens to individuals, as they must learn to cope and accept the unfairness of life?
