Thomas Cahill Designs
My husband Tom and I have a small home-based business. I am a silversmith, jewelry designer and bead-worker, while Tom turns wood, bone, antler and fossils on a lathe to create vessels, beads, and custom pens.
A heart-wrenching and heart-warming memoir that offers an intimate view of child relinquishment & child loss, the definition of motherhood, and how two things can be true at one time.
Candace Cahill is a first mother and an LDsA, late discovery step-adoptee or NPE. She grew up in rural Central Minnesota with no running water or electricity, and by the time she graduated from high school, she’d learned books were an oasis and her guitar a good friend. After earning a Social Work degree, she embarked on a year-long bicycle trip across North America before settling in Alaska. An artist at heart, she is a self-taught silversmith, singer/songwriter, and plays the guitar, banjo, bass, and saxophone. Candace resides with her husband, Tom, in Denali, Alaska, and works as a Park Ranger during the summer months.
